You need an MPH to apply for public health. To the OP, I know that many OMFS residencies don't accept foreign applicants (even from Canada!), but the are certain ortho residencies, and many perio, prosth, OMFR, and OMFP residencies that routinely take foreign applicants.

How about applying for a specialty in a field that you like?

That will be a case when I have DDS or DMD from US but as I am foreign trained with little less GPA, I will have to go with whatever I can get.
