| The International Dentist Advanced Placement Program (IDAPP ) is a special university program held over five months. After successful completion of this program students are fully integrated into the third year of our four year Doctor of Dental Surgery Program (DDS), leading to the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery. The program is intended for graduates of non-accredited dental programs, i.e. educational programs that have not been recognized by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada (CDAC) or the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Accreditation. Its purpose is to prepare students to take the examinations of the National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB), the same examinations which graduates of accredited dental programs must take to obtain certification. Upon successful completion of the International Dentist Advanced Placement Program and the NDEB examinations, the candidate will be eligible for licensure/registration as a Dentist in all provinces in Canada. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
In order to be eligible to apply to the International Dentist Advanced Placement Program, applicants must be graduates of a minimum four-year University dental program not recognized by CDAC. Achieve a minimum overall grade point average of 3.0 (4.0 scale) for all dental coursework. Be a Canadian citizen or have permanent residency status in Canada by the July 2nd application deadline.
