Hey,

Getting into these programs are very very difficult.... you will have to apply through pass for this.... it is all a waste of time money and hopes.... the best thing you should do is give you nbde exam and go for dds/dmd... this is the thing you will need to work in USA..... i hope you got me.....

 

[Rupali Mittal]

but there is no 2 yr compensation prog for dds in washington as of now and i have kids i need to stay here only.....they say u can do post doctoral training instead and u r licensed then like as oral medicine ..need to give gre also plus nbde i knowbut what is this pass for thanks in advance for answering me..

 

[Tuftsy boy]

You need to do a good search on various schools and requirement... pls check ada.org you will find out the pass thingy there.......even after doing any course you will need to the DDS/DMD to work as a certified dentist....
There are many married girls infact most of the girls are married who go to these school for DDS/DMD... you should ask them how things work with them...

 

[Rupali Mittal]

I will have to do the 4 yr course all over again no special prog here or if u know about any in Washington University other than which I know of pls do tell me I am quite desperate to do something and study also..

 

[Rupali Mittal]

Cant we get licensed to work after doing masters in as of it is stated on the website I can send u the link to crossverify and also had aword with the dept coordinator she said that u could work as licensed dentist after completion of 2 yrs masters training here but ofcourse getting through that is not that simple

 

[Tuftsy boy]

Listen to me and do the DDS/DMD.....rules are rules....... rest is upto you.....

I live in INDIANA I wasted 3 years to go for 4 year program don't do it😳 the Pass programs are 2 or 3 years this is the better obtion after 3 years you have DDS. MOVING IS NOT A BIG DEAL in usa you can go back in 2 or 3 years with DDS.

 

[Tuftsy boy]

Now that is what i am talking about... to get into a specialty directly, one has to score more than 94 in nbde to make the road easy..... so better take the easy road which is also a tough one do the DDS/DMD. this is to all pls do focus on getting DDS/DMD and you will make it.....

http://www.dental.washington.edu/education/prospective_students/foreign_trained_students.php This is the link of options available in Washington.I cant think of moving right now as I have 2 kids had had been alone would have gone anywhere..pls do help me I m in deliema now!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tuftsy boy]

If you want to make it big.... you will have to do the DMD/DDS.... you will have to take the nbde and other stuff even this is not easy and it will take time.... all the application process has already started so you can apply only next year. it will take a lot of time for you to do all this stuff.... start studying for the nbde that you will have to take in either of the ways....

 

[Rupali Mittal]

I know actually I am trying to do that....Just started colecting the mat thanks a lot for helping me ...I will ask more🙂..Any suggestions about preparations

 

[dents]

There is one other way...do the 2 year AEGD program at U of R, do the WREB, and get the washington license.
No debt at all.
but you have to move to ny. However, this program is more competitive then most DDS programs. Only have 8 seats a year with over 400 applications.

good luck

i have spoken to the graduate coordinators and they say 2 yrs of post doc training will give me the license and so I can work then after....

Hi Kittu. I'm an Orthodontist from India with 2.5 yrs experience. I am really keen on doing masters from UW as Seattle is the only place where I would like to shift to. Do u think I stand a chance? What would be the procedure to apply for the masters programme?

Hey I just wanted to let you know that there is a residency program in Yakima Washington that upon completion of your one year commitment will provide you with a state license! Look into it!
