The impact of COVID‐19 on dental school admissions: A student and faculty perspective

Abstract

Since the COVID-19 pandemic declaration by the World Health Organization in March 2020, many North American dental programs were forced to abandon their traditional in-person interviews in favor of online interviews, and adjust the application process in response to imposed limitations. In this perspective, we discuss the perceived impact of COVID-19 on applicants and the application process to dental school while offering recommendations for the future.
