Dr. Dev Prajapati — AEGD Resident
Matched 2025
AEGD Resident

Hi, I'm Dr. Dev.

AEGD Resident

I'm an international dentist who matched into a US residency through ADEA PASS — without US clinical experience and without spending 2–3 years and thousands of dollars on an MPH everyone told me I needed. I did it by understanding the system and applying smart.

I built DentalMatch because when I was applying, no one handed me a clear map of which programs actually take international grads. I made this so you don't have to lose the months I lost.

Built for profiles like yours

What the matcher does for a profile like yours

Representative examples built from real applicant patterns — illustrating how the matcher handles different profiles. Not individual reviews.

Example profile

Surfaces only the AEGD programs that actually sponsor a J1 visa and fit the profile — so no application fee is wasted on a program that can’t take an international grad.

BDS · INBDE passed · needs J1
AEGD shortlist
Example profile

Pulls GPR programs ranked by stipend and visa policy in one view, instead of piecing it together across spreadsheets and the PASS portal.

BDS · budget-tight · needs a stipend
GPR options
Example profile

Scores every program out of 10 against the profile, so it’s clear where you’re reaching and where you’re a genuinely strong fit.

BDS · strong scores
Pediatric: reach vs. safe
Example profile

Narrows a competitive specialty down to the programs realistically open to that pathway — not a generic 800-program dump.

DDS (Canada) · PASS pathway
Endodontics
Example profile

Flags visa sponsorship program-by-program, so J1 vs. F1 eligibility is never a guessing game.

BDS · F1 / CPT route
Periodontics
Example profile

Highlights deadlines and program-director contacts up front, so nothing slips before the cycle closes.

BDS · re-applicant
Prosthodontics

Take 48 hours off and don't check email obsessively. The waiting starts now and pacing yourself matters.

Questions

The things dentists ask before starting

Is it really free?+
Yes. Creating your account takes a few seconds — with Google or email, no credit card — and then you see your matched programs. You only pay once if you want to unlock your full list and save it. There is no subscription, ever.
How accurate is your program data?+
The database is built from ADEA PASS and CAAPID program information and checked program-by-program — visa sponsorship, application deadlines, INBDE/exam requirements, and program director contacts. It was built by someone who actually went through the application, not scraped and forgotten.
Will it tell me if a program sponsors a J1 or F1 visa?+
Yes. Every program shows its visa sponsorship clearly — whether it sponsors J1, F1, both, or requires your own work authorization — so you never waste an application fee on a program that can’t take you.
Is this only for international dentists?+
No. It’s built for international dental graduates (IDGs) applying through CAAPID, and for US and Canadian dental grads applying through PASS. Your matches are scored to whichever pathway fits you.
What if I don’t match, or it’s not for me?+
You’re covered by a 60-day money-back guarantee. No forms, no screenshots, no “tell us why.” If it doesn’t help you, email me and I refund you — simple.
Do you sell or share my information?+
No. Your credentials are used to match you to programs and nothing else. I don’t sell your data, and I don’t hand your email to third parties.
Who built this?+
I did — Dr. Dev Prajapati, BDS. I’m an internationally trained dentist who matched into an AEGD residency in 2025 through ADEA PASS. I built this to be the clear map I wish someone had handed me when I was applying.
