International Dental Degree Program

About this programme

The IDDP program admits citizens or residents of Canada who have completed a degree in dentistry from an international program that is not accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada (CDAC). Students must demonstrate a level of preclinical knowledge, acumen, and technical skill that is, at minimum, comparable to that of dental students who have completed year 2 of the Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) program. This level of competency will be demonstrated through successful completion of the DENT 497.0 course in this program. Students will join the D.M.D. program in year 3 and will complete years 3 and 4, which is the clinical component of the D.M.D. program. Successful completion of the program will allow the granting of a D.M.D. degree and will provide eligibility to sit the National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB) examinations, successful completion of which is required for licensure in Canada.
