Postdoctoral Dental Matching Program for Positions Beginning in 2025


What Are Reversions

Reversions allow a program to move one or more positions that remain unfilled within the matching process from one Rank Order List (the "Donor") to a second Rank Order List (the "Receiver"), so that an attempt can be made to fill the available position(s) with applicant(s) on the second list.

For example, a residency offering both a 4 year OMS program and 6 year OMS program could specify that any position that remains unfilled on the Rank Order List for the 6 year OMS program should revert to the Rank Order List for the 4 year OMS program, and an attempt should be made to fill the position(s) with additional applicants from the Rank Order List for the 4 year OMS program. In this case, the Rank Order List for the 6 year OMS program is the Donor list (because it is donating unfilled positions) and the Rank Order List for the 4 year OMS program is the Receiver list (because it is receiving unfilled positions from the Donor list).

Similarly, reverting unfilled positions from one list to another can be used by a program that is submitting multiple Rank Order Lists for a single program, in an attempt to fill all available positions in the program.
