Event Details

  • Various initiatives have been designed to streamline the admission process for international dentists (ID) in the U.S. academic institutions. Despite all the efforts, ID struggle understanding the licensure pathways available, similarities and differences between DMD/AGE programs. One of the major challenges for ID is how to present their skills, knowledge, attitude, and behaviors to meet the expectations of an U.S. educational dental model and receive an acceptance letter. The primary aim of this workshop is to engage Yankee participants as an advisory board for International Dentist seeking licensure and provide overall recommendations and guidelines to streamline this process integrating a logic model.
    • Understand challenges of ID seeking licensure and dental school's acceptance from various stakeholder's perspectives
    • Utilize a collaborative environment to increase awareness to support the ID's professional development in the US
    • Identify a database of guidelines, challenges and opportunities to facilitate the process
    • Create meaningful feedback for ADEA, ADA, admissions officers, program directors and ID to improv their success in their application process and licensure path
    • Recognize the challenges in the process and outline possible solutions
