Hi all,
I have questions about residency opportunities for foreign graduates (no American citizenship or permanent residency) of American dental schools.
Anyone know if residency programs discriminate against foreign graduates of American dental schools due to visa problems? I am interested in pedodontics and orthodontics, and many training programs say that they consider foreign graduates of American dental schools, but isn't it more difficult to get in if you are a foreigner?
What type of visa is granted for dental residency programs? Physician residency programs usually state that they grant either the J1 or the H1 visa. Dental residency programs almost never mention visa in their websites. What is the visa for dental residency programs?
I considered posting this in the international dentist forum, but most people there are foreign dental school graduates contemplating moving to the U.S. Please enlighten me about applying to a dental residency program as a foreign graduate of an American dental school. Personal experiences, anyone?
Thank you,
