10. Columbia College of Dental Medicine
The Columbia College of Dental Medicine offers internationally-trained dental students a custom-designed post-doctoral externship ranging from one month to one year depending on individual needs and interests. The program that ranks 10th in our list of best dental residency programs for foreign trained dentists, grants participants the opportunity to study, attend and learn in an array of settings, including Prosthodontics, Orthodontics, Implants and Periodontics, and Endodontics. Though irreplicable in the sense of the invaluable experience that the program affords its participants, the externship does not actually serve as a substitute for time spent in an accredited post-doctoral academic certification program, nor does it make students eligible for board examinations. Nonetheless, it can serve as a great springboard for those hoping to gain more experience before jumping into an academic post-doctoral program.
