Life is pretty short maybe few days left in our lifetime , ( i just heard one of my classmates died due to heart attack back in india who was a flourishing orthodontist who was 33 ) , well in our short life span to help someone and to not forget the past what we have gone thru is one rich good quality of a human being , i really see the real virtue of this guy called sri ram and i really admire
you as a true unseen friend , i wish if i really had some good friends like u who is not selfish but frank and honest would have made usa a better place for foriegn trained dentist to live , i been checkin sdn for 4 yrs for advanced standing ..................... i am still standing nowwhere
THIS ONE POST REALLY MADE A GOOD DIFFERENCE IN ME

Thank you Sriram for posting information about this opportunity.
It benefits everyone at SDN when information is shared freely.

I was curious about the number of people they will take in the
ITDP program at Michigan since there is no mention about this
on the web site. I e-mailed Pattie Katcher, and she said that
since this is a brand new program they are still developing the
curriculum and they are asking the applicants to be patient
as they work out the bugs in the program. Since this is the
first year, they are only looking for about 4 students. 😱

This opportunity seems to be about equivalent to that at
Columbia University this year where they interviewed 10 people
for 4 spaces. If you have the spare cash for the $175 application
fee + $250 for the interview if you are called, you could take a
chance on this but I wouldn't get your hopes up too high. NYU
with its 110 spaces is still the best hope for those waiting for a
spot for this year.

 

[mandakki]

hi sri ram,
thank u so much for posting the information.good luck and i hope u get into a school of ur choice.
thanks

 

[health]

thanks dent_doc for getting us the info.
Ofcourse NYU is a big hope (as always?).Though the no. of seats at U Mich are less it is definitely something. 4 more of us will be able to join this year instead of waiting.
And heard that U Mich is a great school.
Also, many people who already got admissions may not apply now. So, probably little less competitive.
Good luck to all the guys applying for U Mich.

dear yash
i am pasting the information from the u of michigan website for the agencies recognised for course by course evaluation

Official Transcripts and Course-by-Course Evaluation
Original certified or notarized copies of original transcripts, grade records, examination results, and other academic records must be submitted with ITDP Application.

An original, notarized copy of a WES, ECE, or AACRAO course-by-course credentials evaluation of the transcript must be submitted with the ITDP application. (See contact information for these organizations listed in the References Section).

ECE = Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) Report

WES = World Education Services, Inc

you can get your credentials evaluated by either of these three agencies
hope this clears your doubts

here it is

Internationally Trained Dentist Program (ITDP)

The University of Michigan School of Dentistry Internationally Trained Dentist Program (ITDP) offers an opportunity for dentists who are graduates of foreign dental schools to obtain a Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree. The program of study includes didactic, laboratory, and comprehensive patient care experiences. Graduates of the program will have acquired the requisite knowledge and skills to engage in contemporary dental practice in the United States. Graduation from this program does not give automatic licensure to practice dentistry in the United States, since all states require new dental graduates to pass state or regional licensing examinations. Graduates of the ITDP will be eligible to take most state and regional dental licensing examinations offered in the United States (a few states still require US citizenship for dental licensure).

The ITDP is an accelerated course of study that requires full-time, daily attendance for a minimum of two years (six fourteen week terms). In some cases the program may be extended to meet individual student’s educational needs. Student’s progression through the program is determined by the Guidelines for Scholarship and Promotion of the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. The ITDP program begins in May each year with an intensive one term didactic and preclinical course. Following successful completion of this course, ITDP students will join the third year dental class for the fall and winter terms (terms two and three). Candidates who are unsuccessful in the initial summer term may be denied further continuation in the program. During the fourth term, ITDP students will take additional didactic and clinical courses as well as complete required clinical rotations, some of which will take place in other clinical sites within Michigan in addition to the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. ITDP students will join the fourth year dental class for the remaining fall and winter terms (terms five and six). The achievement of passing evaluations in all coursework will result in the granting of the D.D.S. degree. Please see the enclosed calendar for more details on the course of study for terms two, three, five, and six. The course work planned for terms one and four is currently under development and you may view updates by clicking here.
ADMISSION
Prospective students should apply directly to the Internationally Trained Dentist Program. You may access an application form by clicking here (PDF reader required). For admission to the class beginning in May 2005, the deadline for submission of the application and all supporting documentation is February 15, 2005. A $175.00 processing fee must accompany the application. Only a money order or cashiers check are accepted and should be made payable to the University of Michigan. Personal checks or credit cards are not accepted. In addition to the application form, the following requirements must also be met before an application is considered to be complete: (1) documentary proof of proficiency in the English language; minimum (TOEFL) examination scores of 575 (paper test) or 230 (computer test) are required, (2) successful completion of the National Board Part I examination, average score 84 or above, no section score below 75, (3) three letters of recommendation are required (see details below), (4) two essays must be submitted; one should describe the applicant’s dental experience and the second should discuss the applicant’s future professional goals, (5) documentary proof of license to practice from a Ministry of Health or appropriate governing body, (6) complete official documents (transcripts) of all college and university course work, including dental education in the original language accompanied by a certified English translation when necessary are required, and (7) certification of dental degree is required. Please direct any questions about the application or admission process to [email protected].

The Admissions Committee for the ITDP will review complete applications and qualified applicants will be invited for a personal interview. The personal interview is mandatory for acceptance into the program and applicants must be able to secure the appropriate visa for travel to the University of Michigan. The personal interview consists of oral interviews, a written examination, and technical, bench-top exercises. Additional information on the personal interviews will be provided to invited applicants well in advance of the interview.

as far as transcripts is concerned if your school sends it directly to the university , than it is very good
but if they have given you a copy , than you should get it notarised and send it along with your application form
i think the toefl scores takes like three working days if you do it through phone ,I am not very sure about that, just call toefl and ask them
i think you have two choices
you request your scores to be sent by phone or by fax
they charge some 15 dollars extra but the score goes in three working days
check with toefl and confirm it

Thank you Sriram for posting information about this opportunity.
It benefits everyone at SDN when information is shared freely.

I was curious about the number of people they will take in the
ITDP program at Michigan since there is no mention about this
on the web site. I e-mailed Pattie Katcher, and she said that
since this is a brand new program they are still developing the
curriculum and they are asking the applicants to be patient
as they work out the bugs in the program. Since this is the
first year, they are only looking for about 4 students. 😱

This opportunity seems to be about equivalent to that at
Columbia University this year where they interviewed 10 people
for 4 spaces. If you have the spare cash for the $175 application
fee + $250 for the interview if you are called, you could take a
chance on this but I wouldn't get your hopes up too high. NYU
with its 110 spaces is still the best hope for those waiting for a
spot for this year.

Can I get the URL to the page which gives information on program for internationally trained dentists at NYU finishing which one gets license to practice in the US?
