The Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry International Track Program is an advanced standing program for dentists who have completed their dental training outside of a Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) accredited U.S. or Canada dental program. The program begins with a six-week individualized training and assessment module centered on comprehensive pre-clinical dentistry and its biomedical applications. After the international student has successfully navigated the six-week curriculum, the student must complete the two-year clinical program to graduate. During the final year of this International Track, the student must complete the Final Clinical Competency Examination (FCCE) course. The FCCE is the same course offered to the traditional Pre-doctoral Track and is used to assess the competence of all students; International as well as Traditional (or Standard) Track.
Our rigorous curriculum is dynamic and under continuous review to incorporate contemporary trends in dental education and practice, ensuring an evidence-based academic program that meets the highest standards.
Graduation Requirements
Students who successfully complete the prescribed academic and clinical program while demonstrating high ethical and moral standards earn the Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree.
Information about scholarships and financial aid opportunities is available through the Meharry Office of Financial Aid.
