Dr.Watson Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Does anyone have any experience with this at all? Im familiar with the board exam process etc, but just wondering what strategy one takes when looking for actual employment in the states, as a Canadian dentist? Looking to practice on either the east or west coast after school. Im not worried about saturation right now. Any information really at all is appreciated.

Coronaxtra Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 I have a bunch of family in the states and I personally shifted to the states when I got my green card but I’m still in dental school. Generally from what I’ve seen, the employment climate in the states is great. As a Canadian with no green card (I’m assuming?), you’ll need to enter under TN visa. Pretty easy to get but as for seeking employment, remember your competing against American grads. You’ll need to convince prospective employers that you should be chosen over local dentists, that’s the biggest hurdle. Also I was told that you cannot purchase a practice under TN visas, you will need to process for permanent residency to be able to do that. There are good opportunities available on the east and west coast, I’ve seen saturation being a bigger issue in Canada than the states recently. Hope this helps.

JohnGrisham Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Take your license and you should have zero issue in a high demand state. You might not be in downtown LA(and why would you want to be? pay is better elsewhere). Find a mid-sized city and you're set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
