Hey guys, do you know if there are any foreign d-schools that are easy to get into? I know there are carribean med schools that are easy to get accepted into, but I've never heard of foreign d-schools? I know foreign grads from the top 4 carribean med schools can practive in the U.S. What about foreign dentist? Would any of you guys live in another country if it was the only way you could practice dentistry?

sorry, never heard of easy schools to get into. Australia is not easy either.

yeah..i did....unfortunately. 🙁 I wish i would have been accepted in the states so I wouldnt have to go thru all of the processes of applying as an international dentist....but I wanted that bad so i did. Oh well, when you want something that bad, you go out and do whatever it takes, right?

LaSalle University in Mexico is accredited by California Dental Board (but not by other States). I don't know how easy it is to get in.

I am a graduate of the carribean dental schools I am an American who studied there. In the Dominican republic there are two schools to choose from UNIBE in Santo domingo the capital, which is taught in english and UCE where I graduated from it is in spanish, i learned spanish as i went through it. if this is your case and you should go this route then I would say be careful picking up the language as you go will effect your GPA and it is important to have a high GPA today, so it is your choice all they need is your application and your money they will accept the loans provided here by the states through FASFA, so that will help . I will say this, UNIBE is a better academic school then UCE . Uce is a stronger clinical school . remember this, you will only come out of these schools with about 20% of the basic science knowlege compared to the US schools ,so study hard. if you choose to go there. let me know if you are interested as i am still an active alumni there and have a great network for both universities.-Bill

I am actually an UNIBE graduate, I gratuaded August 2005. As far as getting in goes, there is no difficulty there. UNIBE does teach medicine in english, however dentistry is only taught in spanish. I have to say in my experience studying there was a great experience. Since I graduated last year I have passed part I and II of the Boards, applied to schools, have already been accepted into USC and am waiting to hear from three other schools.

I have to say I studied really hard for Part I, having studied all those subjects so long ago, but for Part II, I only studied for a month and a half....I didn't score as high (81), but I must say that 81 came mostly from UNIBEs teachings. Another thing is you have to remember that learning always comes from you....you will always learn a lot if it is truley what you want.

As far as the clinical experience goes, It was amazing! In these countries if you put yourself out there you really have the opportunity to treat a diverse amount of cases.

Good luck and if you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

Sorry Dra L. it was presumptuous of me to say anything about the little know about UNIBE other then the fact I was there Just once and researched it back in 99 or so, and that I have friends who graduated there and are there now..
DAT MAN if you want you can ask me anything about Universidad Central Del Este or UCE and I will help you the best I can , you should look to Dra L about UNIBE if she is inclined to help you.-Bill

Ahhh no need for apologys, after all we are all just here to share what we can. However, any help I can provide as to UNIBE, don't hesitate to ask.

If there are any Chinese out there, Beijing Medical University is the best in China, and I have a friend from Taiwan who is in prosthodontics at UNC.

These schools had very low tuition as well. However, maybe they do not accept int'l students even if you can speak Mandarin Chinese.
