Good day, this is a msg for international trained dentists.
After much research I believe the Rochester Eastman Dental Center, AEGD program for international trained dentists is the best in the country. This program is 2 years in length and allows dentists to sit for the NERB, WERBS and other clinical exams upon completion of the 2 years. However, one does not receive a DDS degree but a AEGD certificate which is ADA accrediated as a 2 year program. BUT the best thing about this program is that it is subsidized by the unversity ....which means no tution..so you save 250 000.
Now the stats for this program...which are a lot more competitive than advanced placement programs.
application fee: 100 USD
interviews for this year 2005: around 300
acceptances: 6 for June and 4 for dec 2006. So 10 total.
Requirements: Part 1 and Part 2 and experience. However, some students have been accepted without part 1 and 2 in the past, but had MA, Phd, or were specialists in there respected countries.
This is the only program in North America which is free and allows international students to obtain a licence after completion.
Good luck.
