Hi, if I get my dds degree in United States, and decide I want to practice for a while in europe (specifically Switzerland). Does anyone know how I can make it work? Salary? Qualifications?
All help is highly appreciated! Thank you.

I would assume 😉 ...the most sensible place to start would be to contact the Swiss Dental Board. They are of course the ones who will be the ones who will be able to give you the most up to date and accurate information about what would be required to obtain a Swiss dental license. 👍

Good luck

I will most likely be moving to Australia after I Graduate. It is about a ~3 year process with their licensing board to pass a couple of tests and get certified, get a work visa, etc. Contact the ADC (australian dental council) to more information, or find it all online. I think that country's dental board website will talk about immigrating and practicing there. Luckily, as dentists we're usually able to emigrate rather painlessly compared to other non-skilled professionals.
