As a foreign trained dentist I had to do quite a bit of research to be able to apply to all these programs. This is a list of programs I was able to find that accepted foreign graduates. Although this list is current and accurate for the application year 2016-2017, I reccomend doing your own research because this can change from one day to the next. Most of these programs take ADEA PASS application but a few as you can see have their own applications and do not look at PASS (a couple like UCLA and Nova look at both PASS and their own application). I know its difficult getting information as FTD so here is a good place to start. Goodluck. And please send some positive energy my way to see if I get in somewhere.

Look below for the updated list.

Hi Veenze
The thing is I have been looking for details just in rochester university as i cant move out of the state and reg the tuition fees, i could not get the info as the applications link is not working currently as they are not accepting any applications right now. The site will start working in March 2016.and any number of phone calls.... never answered. So i guess we just have to wait till march. About other univs, sorry but i have no idea.
Anyone out there has any additional info, please let us know.

Hello Rounaq,
Did you applied to Rochester this cycle? I'm looking for some info about this program. I read the application is directly to them and no through PASS. Best of lucks.

can u plz guide me for nbde part 1 prep ?? I m studying dental deck 2016 new one and first aid n gathering info for study from internet if any confusion ??how much time we should guve for studying ??how to get dentpin ??
 
Hi guys,
If any of you can help, i would appreciate your opinion or any suggestion.
I am currently living in the US with a J1 visa, I am a postdoc now but I need to look for my future since the pathway for assistant professor is kinda awful (and call me weird, but I don't really want to spend more than 6 years as a postdoc in order to get my green card - expiring j1 and then H1, etc- because I am 33 now).
I am dentist and I want to become clinical faculty or lecturer or even instructor at a university, I would like to make it my priority over working all day in a private practice.
I don't have funding nor anybody who can sponsor me, I am (obviously) not permanent resident so I have no options to go into any tuition based- AEGD/GPR/Residency program .
So far and based in the chart that was posted here I have identified three paid aegd that accept foreign trained dentists.
I know that Marquette University gives you the chance to get full license in WI, and in the same way Uconn (although it seems that they prefer very young and fresh graduates). I also know about northwest dental residency and seems to be interesting since they assure you can get the full license in WA, however, they send you into a very rural environment: Yakima, Spokane and one more that I do not remember right now. My main concern regarding this option is that these areas are actually safe for a girl. Does anybody here know someone that got acceptance into that program? or maybe any other option for FTD in paid aegd/gpr? (preferably not in Florida)
I think we cannot really go too far without a green card or any sponsor. Science is amazing but it does not pay much...Anyway, maybe I should consider other option in a different country
Thanks a lot for you attention
 
Guys in my original excel I missed one other program foreign graduates can apply to:

Dade County Dental Research Clinic (DBA) Florida Institute

Guys, for those who applied for aegd at rochester for foreign trained dentist
Do you hear anything from rochester?
 
@OMFSTRAIN do you happen to have any info regarding licensure in minnesota. Any dentist successfully obtained the license by going through their process for FTD?
 
Hi. Thanks for all the info on this thread. I am currently looking at AEGD as a route to securing license since I was waitlisted to the Advance Standing Program that I applied to this cycle. Do you have info which schools offer AEGD in New Jersey? Does New Jersey allow AEGD grads to sit for the licensure exam? Any response will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
Well, currently there is only one dental school in NJ and that doesn't have AEGD program for International trained dentist. Secondly, If we complete AEGD we can't practice in NJ. However, we can practice in NY

Thanks, NJAEGD2015. Yeah, and unfortunately the hospitals that offer AEGD in NJ only accept graduates from US and Canadian schools. How about GPRs, what are the options? What employment can we go to after finishing one? Are they salaried positions?
 
OMFSTRAIN said:
Just wanted to update, might as well since today was Match day; it wasnt easy, quite stressful but I was able to match at Howard U. AEGD. If I can do it, any foriegn grad can. Just have to have faith and give it your best shot. Goodluck guys and congrats to everyone that was able to Match. To those that didnt, you just have to look at it as an opportunity to work on your resume. Dont give up.[/QUOTE

for AEGD u HAVETO APPLY THROUGH MATCH OR PASS??

Sara,
It is not the age problem. You need to improve your statement of purpose and interview skills. Dhow tgat you are glecible, open minded. You will be a student again. Remenber that you want to accept and apply new dental technique. BTW where did you have interview?

I apologize OMFSTRAIN I didn't look closely. Yes Columbia University's AEGD does take FTD, but tuition is required and is production based meaning if you don't bring in a certain quota for them you don't get your certificate from what I've heard. I believe that's why they have so many positions that go unfilled after match results come out. I've done quite of bit of research myself, but didn't compile a list like you, keep up the good work and great job. 🙂
