Hi, I am an Intl dentist with a 3.9+ GPA. Some pediatric research during and after dental school. Top 5 in class. I am done with NBDE part 1 and 2. What are my chances realistically in applying and getting into a pediatric program when compared to US dentists?

Has anyone here applied and gotten into a pediatric program with an international dental degree? I would be so so so so grateful if you help me a bit in this. PASS/Match and all these processes are a bit overwhelming. Where do I begin?

Thank you so much!

Take the national boards.. NBDE part 1 and 2. Then you'll have more chances,.. Otherwise try AEGD programs or do research of the schools that don ask for NBDE. Not easy but not imposssible

I am from India. The international forum seems to be focussed on DDS. I don't want to start a private practice or anything. I just want to do post graduate.

I am done with Part 1 and 2.
 
It's almost impossible to get into pediatric dentistry without doing DDS or AEGD from US. I am telling you from my personal experience. Good luck though. :)

Thats too bad. Were you interviewed anywhere? Did they give any reason for not preferring Intl dentists?
 
Well, I learnt that quickly.. So did DMD and then got into a pedo program.
I believe that's the way to go unless you get super lucky :)
