The landscape of applicants and enrollees in predoctoral oral health programs has changed over the last decade. The session will begin with a presentation on trends in predoctoral oral health program applicants and first-time, first-year enrollees, highlighting overall trends and changes in demographics and academic backgrounds. Following the presentation, a panel of dental school administrators will discuss how the data (and the implications suggested by it) impact their roles and responsibilities. The panelists will share their qualitative insights in the evolving landscape of predoctoral oral health programs and discuss challenges and opportunities for inclusive growth.

Learning Objectives:

Identify the trends among applicants and first-time, first-year enrollees in predoctoral oral health programs.
Recognize ADEA’s major applicant analysis data products.
Develop strategic responses to the identified trends.
