The Internationally-Educated Overview

The University of Florida College of Dentistry offers several options for internationally- educated dentists with degrees from non-accredited dental schools (by the American Dental Association, ADA). Opportunities are available in our Advanced and Graduate Education programs, Two-Year Internationally-Educated Dentist Program, and Four-Year DMD Program for Internationally-Educated Dentists.

These programs provide international dentists the opportunity to gain the skills and knowledge of the dental profession as practiced in the United States.

The University of Florida College of Dentistry does not admit graduates of foreign dental schools to the DMD program with advanced standing or accept international transfer students.
