hi! i'm an international dental student looking to start applying for the international DDS program from 2010 since i'll be done with my degree by september this year. i was wondering if i should take the NBDE part 1 for the application process since i heard that they're gonna scrap that requirement from next year onwards? and also does anybody have any idea about the exam which will be required for international DDS hopefuls and its format?

thanks so much 🙂

*sigh*
does nobody know anything about 2010 application procedures? i've mailed TUFTS, NYU, BU, UPenn and UMich and have got no replies.. this thing is a mystery and its driving me nuts coz i dunno if i should even study not the boards now!

*sigh*

Yaa looks like no one has an idea yet.
Keep asking though.
If I were you, I'd be studying anyway. It is not a waste is it?
Also keep working on your hand skills. That sure ain't waste.

Heheh. Not telling you off at all *pinky swear*
I know, I know it is a pain not knowing. Feels like you are putting your life on hold right? No goals, can't plan, can't follow through... it is tough.
Hang in there, there is light at the end of the tunnel. (No its not an approaching train)😀

Its too early for them to know/answer these questions about 2010, since the 2009 admissions hasnt begun yet. Some changes are going on in Canada too, and the schools are still don't know how the requirements/interviews are gonna be in 2010

If you are graduating in Sept 09. then you will still have time to apply in 09 and begin in 10, ie: before the changes take effect. But hey. taking the boards is not a bad idea even if you won't need them now, you are still gonna need them to get a license and practice.
