Perspectives of program directors regarding candidate selection for the Saudi Board of Restorative Dentistry program
PDs showed diverse responses to all evaluated factors. Interviews and service/electives were most preferred. Service residencies, skills/reputation during electives, and being well dressed during interviews were favored for candidate selection. However, the results should be interpreted cautiously, given the potential limitations of statistical power associated with relatively small sample size.
