License after a specialty program \\ Foreign-trained dentist

[@mostafatabaa6982]

Hey, I verified with Connecticut State, they grant a license for a foreign dentist, if you do 5 years of accredit residency (which is crazy); you have to do 3 years of them at CT, and the other 2 years you could do them at any state..... so for me it sounds like they do not like foreign.

Oh my goodness! I know right! Thank you for the input, i will add it to my website for others to see!

[@jossierenneke1110]

Good information! Although I would add that some schools in those states such as Texas, Colorado and Washington requires GRE as well. The university in Oregon does not accept foreign trained dentist for specialty programs. New York requires the standing dental program plus the PGY-1. As for Vermont I took a look based on your information, but I found that they don't have dental school. I know all this because I am forein trained dentist trying to apply to a specialty program, so I had contacted the boards and some colleges. I found you while researching. Thanks for share!

[@KCDoesDentistry]

Hello! Thank you for your input:) I’m just diving into the world of GRE myself, it is a problem. Yes, Vermont doesn’t have dental schools, but if you get a degree from any specialty program in the country you can practice there. Mass does have dental school and it’s a driving distance away.

[@a.s.america]

when you say GRE do you mean the pre-undergrad exam or general residencies?

Great video as always! I really appreciate the effort to make such good contents, thank you 💕 Here some questions for you: if you could go back would you do a specialty program instead of going through dental school? Would you like to do a specialty in the future? (if yes which one) what would you advise to do, specialty program or programs for internationally trained dentist?

Thank you so much for watching! I’m glad you liked it! Yay! I’ll write down those questions, really good ones! Thank you:)

I live in Florida, and here the board of dentistry only accepts AEGD or GPR 2 years program, they don't accept if it is a specialty program such as ortho, pedo, perio etc

[@kluk622]

You are an absolute star thanks for the video!

[@KCDoesDentistry]

I’m glad you liked it:) thanks for watching:)

[@shaynabenavides6685]

Hello. I love your videos. I have a question, for Florida it says, that you need two consecutive academic years at a full-time supplemental general dentistry program. What is that even mean ? I thought it was the specialty, but right above that it says, supplemental general dentistry program does not include an advanced education program in a dental specialty.

[@KCDoesDentistry]

In florida you can pretty much graduate anything, and it will do. Any program that has clinics will qualify you for a license.

[@mayafedhila839]

@@KCDoesDentistry Hello, thank you for your video ! But please, based on what do you affirm that since in their requirement, they clearly specify that " A supplemental general dentistry program does not include an advanced education program in a dental specialty".

Shaina, it means that the board of dentistry only accepts AEGD or GPR 2 years program, they don't accept if it is a specialty program such as ortho, pedo, perio etc

Hi KC , thanks for the great and informative video as always!! I have one question if you don’t mind me asking , for example if I got licensed in a certain state with goin through a specialty program . Can I only work in that state in the future as well? Or If I work in that state for over 5 years I can have the freedom to practice in other state with “Licensure by credential”/“license recognition”. Thanks again!!

[@regina5334]

Awesome! Thank you for this kind of videos ☺️ I’m wondering if you can make a video about visa/immigration. And how it’s possible to finance all of it, since universities are so expensive in the US.

[@KCDoesDentistry]

I have that planned:) stay tuned:)

[@amardeepshah7179]

what if somebody fail some exam in advance standing programme?

[@ivanaica001]

I heard that there is a lot of competition for such schools and that there is a 1% chance that they will accept me without DMD or DDS degree

[@behradbavarsad7423]

thank you so much KC , It was so helpful , just one question Didn't you find any information about california?

[@KCDoesDentistry]

I did, and it doesn’t look good for foreign dentists. Gotta graduate a DDS program

[@behradbavarsad7423]

@@KCDoesDentistry so in conclusion advance standing program would be a better option I guess , What's your opinion KC?

[@KCDoesDentistry]

That’s what I thought too!:) that’s why I’m attending one:)
