Maximizing Your Potential: Insights Into the ADEA CAAPID ‘Experiences’ Section Advanced standing programs look for applicants with robust experiences, and ADEA CAAPID® (ADEA Centralized Application for Advanced Placement for International Dentists) provides the opportunity for applicants to share those experiences. In this session, two admissions officers will discuss insights for applicants to best use the “Experiences” section of the application. Join the conversation to learn about why the section is important, how it is reviewed and why being selective about what experiences are included can impact your application.

After a conversation between the program director and recent grad, program representatives will be available to answer your application and licensure questions in real time.
