How can an Australian Dentist work in USA?


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I am an Australian Dentist (Australian Citizen). I want to work in USA as a Dentist.

I went through the Google search. But, I was unable to find the answer.

Could anyone please guide me a pathway/ how can I practice in USA?

I appreciate your help/guidance.

Thank you very much for your time in advance.

Because you have graduated from a non-CODA accredited dental school you would need to go through a qualifying program (two to two and a half years in a dental school) in the USA or Canada. You can also do a two year residency (GPR or AEGD) if you are able to be accepted into one of those programs (much harder to do as an international). Another option is if you apply to specialty in the USA. Doing so will also fulfill the requirements for licensure (at least two years in a CODA Accredited dental school).

This is leaving aside the board exam requirements and the visa issues for you to be able to work in the USA.

What are your reasons for wanting to migrate to USA?
