🙁 I was checking U. of TN to discover that all my coursework is outdated! All of it! Plus I have a foreign degree... Ms in biology. .
So what do I do? How long will it take to get new ones?

you need at least 90 credits taken in an accredited college in America including all the pre-reqs. You don't need to get another degree. So about2,5 years.

Thank you for replying! 90 credits in 2,5 years= how many hours a week we are talking about? How much does it cost?

You could take 18 credits in fall and spring and another 12 in summer. 12-18 credits is considered to be full-time. Tuition varies from school to school. In state schools its about 5k. If you take 18 credits it's pretty much 5 days a week 9-4 every day and tons of homework. Comunity colleges are cheaper, but most dental schools also look at the quality of an institution you get your pre-reqs from, and some don't even except credits from comunity colleges. Check with dental schools you are interested in and your local state school pre-dentistry or pre-health advisor. Hope this helps. Good luck!

you did say it was foreign no? well based on that assumption, I think you might have to contact the american accredation service located in NYC and you can get its info from the school, and then they will figure out what is accepted and translated to what. then you might not need to talk all those credits.

Hey I am a Medical student, will be graduating in 6 months time. I want to migrate to Australia. What must I do, or have, so that I would be able to practise medicine over there? And how do I go about it?
