Hi,
I just thought that we can start a thread on Masters program that a foreign trained dentist could join.Do contribute to this thread if you know of any such information regarding any courses made available by Dental schools to foreign trained dentists and the requirements to these programs.If any of you apply and are called for Interviews please do post your inputs.
Thanks
