Description of Program
The Internationally Trained Dentist Program offers a course of study that includes didactic, laboratory, and comprehensive
patient care experiences. Graduates will have acquired the requisite knowledge and skills to engage in contemporary dental
practice in the United States and will be eligible to take most state and regional dental licensing examinations offered in the
United States.

The ITDP is an accelerated course of study that requires full-time, daily attendance for a minimum of two years. The
program begins in May each year with an intensive one term didactic and preclinical course. Following successful
completion of this course, ITDP students will join the third year dental class for the fall and winter term. During the fourth
term, ITDP students will take additional didactic and clinical courses as well as complete required clinical rotations, some of
which will take place in other clinical sites within Michigan. ITDP students will join the fourth year dental class for the
remaining fall and winter terms. The achievement of passing evaluations in all coursework will result in the granting of the
D.D.S. degree.
