I'm a Canadian in a US OMS residency.
I have a US DDS as well.
Thinking of going back to Canada.

What's the process work in Canada as a specialist?

Thanks.

You'd have to pass the Canadian OMS specialty board exam. Once passed everything else should just be paperwork. US residency programs are recognized in Canada. Each province has it's own similar criteria, aside from Quebec which requires a french language exam.

I don't believe the general dentistry boards are required
