Here i am still figuring out how to post replies. so simran, yes you can work as a dental assistant, depending on your work experience back in India. you won't be able to do a couple of things like polishing or x-rays, a good idea is to do a radiology certification and set the ball rolling.
i hope this helps.

Very nice job. I took the liberty of editing your post, just by making it more user friendly since the font was on the smaller side and some of the hyperlinks were not working properly.

Obviously there are quite a few more FTD schools, so anyone with the will and time, please don't hesitate to add your contributions to this post and others.

I believe the only way to get a student visa is to enroll in a program at a university.

Hi,

Why dont you have University of Florida listed?

 

[gatorzone]

Hai everyone,
after completing a speciality program will i be able to practice in US or can i work in dental school as lecturer?

Hi,
Yes you will be able to practice dentistry in some states only. You can go to ada.org, find a document saying "educational options for interntional dentist" or something like that. It will tel you which states allow you to paractice with a specialty certificate/degree.

Hope it helps!

Dudes,

I have researched all the dental schools listed in ada.org and gave my best to pool useful information (at least for me). So, I thought of sharing this with you to save some time while looking for universities that offer Advanced Standing Program for international dentists.

While, I spent maximum time on looking up individual school websites, there might be some information that I have missed or you might have some information that I haven't listed here. Please help us collaborate this work for the good of everyone. Feel free to comment on this or give your suggestions or information that might need some editing or additions. I would be more than pleased to change it for you.

Also, I looking for someone to help me in figuring out stuff that I couldn't pool. Most importantly, 'Does universities accept provisional certificate at the time of application deadlines as valid proof?' Probably, we could send email or contact the admissions office. Is there anyone ready to volunteer and find this information for us, especially someone who is already in USA?

The attached zip file contains list of all schools from ADA. You may filter out the results to fit your needs. The file contains the following details

1. University Name
2. City, State
3. University Website
4. Phone Number
5. Advanced Standing Program Offered (Y/N)
6. Green Card or Citizenship Required (R/NR)
7. Application Fee
8. Application Start and deadline dates
9. Admission dates
10. Number of Seats available
11. Minimum TOEFL,
12. Minimum NBDE I/II marks
13. Minimum GPA

15. Sort of education Evaluation
16. Statement of Purpose
17. Resume
18. Personal Interview

Hello All,
I am glad some of you added important information regarding Foreign Trained Dentist's (FTDs) Schools. Its been over 2 yrs and few things have changed. I am thinking about updating the zipfile or make new one. Has someone already worked on it?.

PS: I've updated somewhat information with latest info.

 

[DrKCD]

Great JOB!!! Excellent piece of information ..all in one place...

If loma linda uni. has application deadline of 1st dec.(as in above chart) or 1st august 2009. pls let me know.

 

[allooosh]

I am a student in a dental school in syria I want to know how can I pass the NBDE exam

 

[barney74]

I am a student in a dental school in syria I want to know how can I pass the NBDE exam

Hi Allooosh, I assume your study at the dental school is in Arabic so you should start preparing for the NBDE right away because it takes some time to get used to studying all over again in a different language. For study material you can use Dental Decks, First Aid, Released exams, Kaplan book. And the exam is taken only in the US and Canada.

Good luck...

Have you tried to apply to any schools yet? Think of other things in "the whole package". one score does not always decide everything, work on your resume, get an intern position somewhere, etc.

hi kilani what is the mean by an intern position and how one can get that?
plz explain that........

 

[Oscar Salas]

My wife graduated from New York University College of Dentistry, New York 1990-1995 Fellowship in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Dentistry 1995-1996 Colegio Odontologico Colombiano 1990 In the present time doctor Salas is undergoing training at the prestigious LVI- Las Vegas Institute for neuromuscular and Aesthetic Dentistry.

 

[kilani]

hi kilani what is the mean by an intern position and how one can get that?
plz explain that........

It's an informal training program that varies in duration from few weeks to months, offered by many but not all schools and specialty programs, some institutions have well established ones, others have them ad hoc, you need to look at individual schools and ask directly, it helps if you have one interest in mind and show that interest (for example; perio, ortho, etc).

Thanks!

Dudes,

I have researched all the dental schools listed in ada.org and gave my best to pool useful information (at least for me). So, I thought of sharing this with you to save some time while looking for universities that offer Advanced Standing Program for international dentists.

While, I spent maximum time on looking up individual school websites, there might be some information that I have missed or you might have some information that I haven't listed here. Please help us collaborate this work for the good of everyone. Feel free to comment on this or give your suggestions or information that might need some editing or additions. I would be more than pleased to change it for you.

Also, I looking for someone to help me in figuring out stuff that I couldn't pool. Most importantly, 'Does universities accept provisional certificate at the time of application deadlines as valid proof?' Probably, we could send email or contact the admissions office. Is there anyone ready to volunteer and find this information for us, especially someone who is already in USA?

The attached zip file contains list of all schools from ADA. You may filter out the results to fit your needs. The file contains the following details

1. University Name
2. City, State
3. University Website
4. Phone Number
5. Advanced Standing Program Offered (Y/N)
6. Green Card or Citizenship Required (R/NR)
7. Application Fee
8. Application Start and deadline dates
9. Admission dates
10. Number of Seats available
11. Minimum TOEFL,
12. Minimum NBDE I/II marks
13. Minimum GPA
14. Req. Number Recommendation Letters
15. Sort of education Evaluation
16. Statement of Purpose
17. Resume
18. Personal Interview
19. Bulletin Link
20. Source Link from which Information pulled
21. My Notes

Hope it helps someone. Thanks

Hi Teekay,

If you register before 2010, then you can have 1 year to take again the NBDE1. No matter if you passed. So just register.

It doesn't matter if you get Phd or BDS from international school. You will have to take NBDE part 1 (maybe part 2 for some schools) and than goto 2-3 years school in US in order to get your dental degree and a license to practice in US.

Thanks For this very nice thread.
It seems that the deadlines on few / most of the colleges have changed , but then the list is a really nice starting pointer.

 

[I am here]

Hi guys
1. does anybody know which schools accept notarized copies? Makes a hell of a difference in the amount of score reports ordered and thus money spent..
2. Also does anybody know which schools dont accept provisional diploma of the international university?

 

[jj816]

?? I don't see any list of schools in the file... I only see abbreviations for some words....? ("codes")

I am fed up and frustrated from the foreign trained dentist program (advanced standing) and better than wasting years on getting HIGH scores in this and that and on waiting.

So I took DAT, passed it (easy) and I am sure that it will be so easy to get in any US Dental School. 4 years as student with one year prior for application=5, better than mission impossible of 2-3 years in school and 3-4 stressful years to get accepted first=about 7 specially as this government keeps bringing foreign trained dentists to US and the previous one brought too many from Afghanistan and Iraq.

And as it is for all foreigners, Stay away from Dental Schools of Rednecks States (Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia).
