jameshard Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hi All I am a computer science professional (BS in Computer science 3.6 GPA (India) and Masters in Computer science 3.8 GPA (Masters)) with 10 yrs of work experience in the USA. I recently moved to Canada (PR) and with a change in physical location I am thinking of a career change to dentistry. To make this decision I want to know the actions I need to take and how long it will take to have a license to practice. My decision would be mainly on the time to complete, financial obligations and its recovery. https://www.mcgill.ca/dentistry/4-year-dmd-program/requirements I see there are pre- requisites to get into dental school. I have taken 1 chemistry, 1 physics and 1 calculus in my 1st year of under graduation. Would I still need to complete 1 Organic Chemistry, 2 Biology courses before taking DAT? If yes how long would it take ? How much would it cost ? Can I get scholarship/grants based on my earlier experience or during the study? Can I apply for loans (fed or private)? I am aware dental school takes 4 years but is there a way to shorten this, like take classes in summer etc or more courses per semester? What are the financial aids available (fed loans, grants schlorships) ? What is the job market like for dentists currently (GTA and rural) and what does it look like in 5 years (any studies .. forecasts) ? Average Salary of dentists in Canada (GTA, Vancouver and rural ares) ? Can I use my dental degree from Canada and practice in USA ? Can I use the TN visa provision to move to USA for work ? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
