I am going to apply to minnesota dental Board licensing exam, But before applying they require Effictive Infection Control Course(8 hours). ADA offers this course and one can do this course at home.Its cost is $187. If more than one dentist do this course together then charge will be less. So i am searching for any person who is willing to do this course please e-mail me on [email protected]se do this urgently.....

hi

i have find out that we have to do infection control which is Accredited by ada. So i have find out that Infection control fee is $187.50(non-adamember) and 125(for ada member). even if we find out some ada-member than also he can order by our behalf.
If we together do this course then fees will be like this: 187.50 + 37.50(for extra copy for exam paper--which we have to send to ADA then they will send us certificate. Obviously then we can divide the fees between us. so finally we pay 112.5 dollar.
And we give ADA member number then 125+37.5 divided by 2.
so this saves money of both of us.
if you interested please send me e-mail as soon as possible because i am planning to order it as soon as possiblle.
thanks for reply.

Hello

As you know Minnesota board requires you to get your credentials evaluated by ICA.

ICA requires all the documents to be sent directly by the dental school. They also need Dental degree course syllabus.

How easy it is to get the course syllabus? Has anybody got the BDS course syllabus from India?

Thanks

Hi guys...
I have the same problem with the course syllabus...My school does not have it in English...
my question is why does ICA need syllabus??? Why didn't ECE need one when they did a course by course evaluation for me???
Wait ..the thing is I asked ECE today why ...they said because they have libraries and staff that finds out stuff like that for them...I wonder why can ICA not do that...isn't this what they are supposed to do?
I mean they are not like deciding whether you are a dentist in this or that country or not. I mean a general ECE evaluation would tell you that...
or a notarized copy of your degree in English...right????
I just do not understand...
/Sara





I am frustrated...what am I supposed to do???
 
What does it take for a foreign trained dentist to practice dentistry in minnesota? Is it possible or do you have to do residency? Thanks

hi i think ICA evaluation is very tough..but i got it done a week ago after a long waiting..but ica really wants a big list of things from our university..and my parents provided all stuff for them ...and it was so painful for my parents also to go our college and make them understand and then mail(by college dean)and what not but ica people dont consider these things ..so if u want ica evaluation u have to prvide all they want..good luck

Hi Pretty Pink
I just want to know when did you apply for the Icaworld credential evaluation? (including the transcripts from dental school and the certificate of good standing from the government dental regulatory board). Did you get a copy of the evaluation too (as written in the icaworld app form)?
All in all how long did it took them to finish the evaluation?

Ethann

I have applied in mid november and all has been ok at the first time. ICA has confirmed it. But at this time , I get nothing. I tried to call them about sixty times and get them two times. Very frustrating.
Prettypink you are a lucky man. I will try to paint me in pink but I am not sure it will be a success 😳

How do you manage to get such a rapid assessment

that's something I tried to consider, but I don't have a chance, as I have been in the states for about 2 years now without practicing dentistry, only teaching, this condition really sucks.... why do they want 18 months of experience in the past 2 years ....they can do a practical test like everybody else 😕
 
Hi Prettypink

I had the same experience with icaworld. They did send me another letter asking for additional documents. I had to go back to my dental school and request for the documents needed. Took several days to compile and sent it via postal mail. Now its the waiting game. I hope its the same experience as with you, 15 days wait, hoping for a positive report.
Did Icaworld give you a positive credentials report? What was the summary say?

hi ethann ..i hope u'll get it soon ...they evaluated everything and gave the result -gpa3.27..and they did give me a long summary of all subjets and how it equivalent to US subjects..it was some 3 pages ..good luck for u
 
Hi Ethann , Hi Prettypink and the others

I think very useful to know how long does it take for each of you to get the evaluation or how long are you waiting for it after completion of your file.Since the gate will close in a next future, this poll would be a good info for each of us.

Prin :5 months and half pending ( out of known average, don't know why)
Prettypink : 15 days successs ( congratulations)

Hey guys! Before u call to ICA check on them in BBB agency and see how many complains they have. I know you guy don't have too many choices but prepare to deal with bunch of *****s. Sorry for disappointment.

Hi Prettypink,

It is a hard work to get all the requirements . ICA has confirmed me that they got everything and the files arrived in mid november 😱

Hi Prettypink, prin

I got an email from Minnesota Dental Board that I have a missing document, the icaworld subject report. Although I submitted a notarized photocopy of the ECE general report as an extra reference for them.
I wrote to them that icaworld asked for additional documents. And I have complied with the additional documents as well as my dental school.
At least I got an acknowledgement that all my documents were received completely except for the icaworld subject report.
Prettypink - Did the Minnesota Dental Board replied yet?
Prin - Hope that icaworld would finally give you your report.
Good Luck!!

Serene,
From what I heard that getting MN dentist license for Non-Accredited Dental Graduates is very hard and time consuming. If you do get license than you still have to work under supervision under 3 yrs and can only work in MN. Have you tried to apply for dentist school?. Are you from MN?.
Try to find some information from here:
http://www.dentalboard.state.mn.us/...sInternationalEducated/tabid/130/Default.aspx

There is another thread which talks about MN license as well. They have recent requirements and regulations.

Hope this will help.

Cheers
 
Hi...do we write nbde part 1 & 2 to apply uni of minnesota
 
is there anyone who actually got a MN license through this route?
 
Hi everyone, has anyone applied for the Minnesota dental license in the recent days as a FTD, if so please share your experience cause I'm interested to know if this route still open or not. 😕
 
Hi pretty pink,

Can you help me with this ica application. Please email me at [email protected]. Thanks for your help in advance
