Is it possible to go abroad for postgraduate study in oral English?

It is possible, but it is a long shot. But if you finish studying in China and then go abroad, your chances are much better than applying to the American Dental College.

Dental medicine in the United States is called Dentist, and the degree is DDS (Doctor of Dentistry). DDS and MD doctor are completely different, but the application conditions and admission procedures of the school are very similar.

The basic requirement of dental college is to graduate from college in four years (very few schools only require at least three years of college credits). It doesn't matter what major you study, but you have to take the DAT. Therefore, it is best to take the subjects related to the DAT exam. Compared with the MCAT required by medical schools, China students find DAT more difficult, because DAT requires more language than MCAT. However, biochemistry and physics, which China students generally consider as their strengths, account for a low proportion. Other requirements are basically the same as those of medical schools (Baidu has many answers to medical school applications for reference). The competition in dental schools is a little fiercer than that in medical schools, but the winners are definitely a few elites. Moreover, the number of international students is very small, which is even more difficult. Choosing a dentist can make money early, and you can practice after graduating from stomatology for four years. A few dentists will continue to study advanced specialties, such as dental implants, orthodontics or oral surgery. These majors range from one year to four years. The higher the income, the longer the professional time is required.

I have a lot of statistics about medical college applications in the United States. You can refer to my previous reply. Less than 50,000 medical students apply for18,000 places every year, and the admission rate is about 35%-40%. The dental college applies for about 10000 places every year, and the admission rate is slightly higher than that of the medical college. The average GPA of the enrolled students is also relatively low, so at least statistically, the American Dental Degree (DDS) is easier than the American Medical Doctor (MD). However, like orthodox medical schools, the number of foreign students in dental schools is very limited, perhaps less than 5%. Therefore, students without a green card, even if they are excellent, have little chance of being admitted.

It is very difficult for foreign doctor MD to start a business in the United States. Besides overcoming exams, the real test is the limited internship opportunities. Foreign doctors can only pick the leftovers from American medical college graduates. Relatively speaking, dentists trained abroad are more likely to practice medicine in the United States. Dentists from other countries in Canada except Puerto Rico need two procedures to practice medicine in the United States-1) to apply for admission to the American Dental College and complete two years of professional training for American dentists. 2) Pass the NBDE qualification examination. These two requirements do not constitute natural barriers for foreign dentists with good professional ability and language level. So there are so many foreign dentists in America.

At least statistically, the best chance for China students to become dentists in the United States is to finish dental school in China and even do clinical work for several years. Dentists belong to the medical category and are the top priority of the Immigration Bureau. It is not difficult to get the work permit of H 1/J 1. Compared with domestic students who complete their dental degrees before taking the American license, China students are at a disadvantage in language and nationality when applying for American dental schools, and their foothold is unequal. You lost a lot before you left. How many plays are there to sing? Even if they squeeze into school, dental students don't have to be as smart as medical students, but they have a very good memory of languages. If there are proper nouns in class, you have to look them up in the dictionary. It is absolutely impossible to keep up with the avalanche of progress, and it is difficult to get a license or even graduate. Of course, strong people can still overcome these, but the unnecessary risks are greatly increased, and it is much more difficult to realize the dentist's dream. Looking around, there are many students from China in general medical schools and dental schools, but 99.9% of them are ABC or came to the United States before graduating from high school at the latest. There may be many foreign (dental) medical students in the United States, but because of their strong English ability, they are mainly Indian Palestinians.
