Can somebody who have the experience with gpr please give their opinion
I know there are some similar threads , but this specific question really confuses me

Neither is necessarily a bad choice, I think most of it comes down to where you feel you would be best suited. However, in my opinion, A GPR would be more beneficial for specialization. It shows you are committed to education, advancing your knowledge, and will also expose you to more things then private practice would. Also, since you are an international dentist I think a big concern for many programs is what your level of education was in your home country, though it my have been an excellent education, doing a GPR would also show that you're putting forth the effort to make sure your dental knowledge is on par with other applicants.

There are some programs that take foreign trained students. UCONN AEGD takes international dentists. Some GPR programs in texas takes foreign trained residents. Keep calling the programs. i know its tough but definitely worth it! Goodluck!

Hi Marium and hi to all of you.

I am confused about residensy and advanced standing program. I am a Dr.Dentist from Israel. I have a DMD.
The advanced program from what i understand gives us a DDS or DMD but i allready have one. Is it possible in some States to get a licensure if i finish a residensy in the US let say Ortho and have a DMD from outside the United States?
What is GPR? general densitery?

thanks and regards,
