“OPTIMAP has
increased my
understanding and
knowledge of my
applicant pool. I can
easily access data
and rank candidates
in a more efficient
manner. Plus, I'm able
to see other locations
where applicants
have applied, easily
view information and
review reports on the
number of applicants
to my region and their
ranking status.”

OPTIMAP will chart the course for you to find the dental professionals who will best succeed
in residencies offered by your health center. Not only will you have potentially more candidates
from which to choose, you will gain time currently lost to inefficient processes you have had to
endure in the past.
Problem: Vanishing Candidates in
PASS/MATCH Problem: Pandemonium in
Post-match
OPTIMAP gives you access to all
of the candidates across the NYU
Langone Dental network. This gives
you a larger pool of candidates to
choose from. When PASS closes, directors begin a
laborious, helter-skelter scramble to
respond to remaining applicants.
Solution: Stop the Insanity by
Standardizing the Post-match
Application Process
Solution: Optimize Processes so
that No Candidate is Left Behind
OPTIMAP captures 100% of resident
applications and allows directors
across programs and locations to view
and give consideration to candidates
who remain unranked.
OPTIMAP simplifies and standardizes
the way that we accept applications.
You can now easily categorize and rank
your candidates. You can also see how
other NYU Langone Dental training sites
have ranked other candidates.
