Profile Building 101
Recap and recording of the January 2022 session on building a competitive profile for Advanced Standing Programs for Foreign-Trained Dentists.
Stage 2 of 5
Build a competitive profile
Programs see thousands of applicants with similar degrees. What separates a profile is US exposure, research, public-health or volunteer work, and something uniquely yours. Start this early; most of it can’t be done in the month before you apply.
At this stage
- Build a network of current students, alumni and dentists at your target schools
- Get US dental-office exposure (dental assistant / RDA courses help)
- Start or join research, even a small project of your own
- Take hands-on and online courses to fill gaps
- Write a clean, US-style CV
