The Advanced Standing Program for International Dental Graduates (ASPIDG)

(Previously known as the Internationally Trained Dentists (ITD) Program)

The DDS Advanced Standing Program for International Dental Graduates (ASPIDG) at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, is intended for graduates of non-accredited dental programs who wish to practise general dentistry in Canada.

The three-year program is specifically designed for dentists who have received their dental education outside of Canada, United States, Australia (graduated before March 2010), New Zealand (graduated before December 14, 2011), or Ireland (graduated before December 5, 2012).

The Advanced Standing Program students will join the second year of our Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) undergraduate program that begins in September, and graduate with a DDS degree upon successful completion of all three years of the program.
