Written by Norma Rabago<\/em><\/p>\n

Innovative programs equip international dentists with the tools to pursue their dream of practicing in the U.S.<\/h2>\n

After working 13 years as a general dentist in her home country of Colombia, Adriana Henao Casas, DDS, is on the brink of practicing dentistry again after 10 years in the United States, her newly adopted country.<\/p>\n

\u201cDentistry is my passion,\u201d she said. \u201cMany family members and friends said it would be too difficult, but my mind was focused. I told myself, no matter how many years it takes, I will fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Henao Casas\u2019 dream is coming to fruition through the International Dentist Education Program<\/a>, a curriculum for internationally trained dentists at the The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio School of Dentistry. The program, known as IDEP, is just one of several designed to help immigrant dentists become practicing providers or dental specialists in the United States.<\/p>\n

It is highly competitive, with a maximum of 20 students per cohort chosen out of 400 or more applicants, the majority applying from India, Egypt, Iran, Pakistan and Iraq. Since its establishment in 2007, 180 students have graduated from the program.<\/p>\n

STARTING AGAIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Upon acceptance, participants are enrolled as third-year dental students to begin clinical practice along with traditional students who have just completed their first two years.<\/p>\n

Some IDEP participants, such as Henao Casas, practiced dentistry in their home country, while others are recent dental school graduates.<\/p>\n

Henao Casas moved to San Antonio to attend dental school while her husband and two children live in Houston.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been difficult being here by myself and starting again,\u201d said the 45-year-old dental student, who is in her final year of the program. \u201cBut this is my goal, and I\u2019m here to finish my career.\u201d<\/p>\n

IDEP starts each January, five months before the traditional dental class starts. Those months are spent reviewing the first- and second-year curriculum, which gives students time to acclimate, said IDEP Director Elena Riccio Leach, DDS, MS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the first six months, the purpose is not only technical, to train them about the courses or how the school and clinic work, but also to show them how the culture works and what they need to know to integrate fully in the environment,\u201d Riccio Leach said. \u201cWe have dinners and other social events to make them feel accepted and integrated into the school.\u201d<\/p>\n

A COMPETITIVE EDGE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Riccio Leach, a product of IDEP herself, and Assistant Director Poornima Mensinkai, BDS, PhD, MS<\/a>, are reasons for the program\u2019s popularity, according to Irish Quindara, DMD.<\/p>\n

Mensinkai created a four-day bench test prep workshop for students such as Quindara. Quindara earned her dental degree in the Philippines.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was looking at different programs, what stood out is that Dr. Riccio Leach and Dr. Mensinkai were international dentists,\u201d she said. \u201cI thought to myself, IDEP and the bench test prep workshop are special because they are led by two women who went through the same thing we international students are going through now.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the critical components of the application process is an in-person interview and a skills test. Mensinkai\u2019s 20-person workshop is designed to help foreign-trained dentists competitively apply to the School of Dentistry and dental schools across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe keep the class size small because they need that attention,\u201d Mensinkai said. \u201cIt makes it worthwhile because, during those four days, they can ask questions. It makes them more confident with the subject matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

“Don’t stop pursuing your dream.”<\/h3>\n

\u2014 Adriana Henao Casas, DDS<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The workshop, offered four times a year, provides one-on-one attention from faculty. That\u2019s why Quindara chose to sign up for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe instructors can focus on weaknesses in your technique or preparation and tell you specifically where you need work,\u201d Quindara said. \u201cUnlike workshops with a high student-to-faculty ratio, they are not rushed to get to the next participant.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the workshop isn\u2019t only about sharpening hand skills. It also helps students prepare for the entire application process.<\/p>\n

Director of Continuing Dental Education Scott Stafford, DDS, MBA, FICD<\/a>, said that during the handskills workshop, students receive tips to beef up their curriculum vitae and on interviewing skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I were to go into a job interview, I\u2019m going to firmly shake the hand of the interviewer, look them in the eyes and speak directly,\u201d he said. \u201cBut in a lot of cultures, you don\u2019t do that. We try to give them behavioral cues so they can succeed wherever they apply.\u201d<\/p>\n

BUILDING A FOUNDATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

For domestic and international school graduates looking to pursue a dental specialty such as pediatrics or oral surgery, the newly minted Certificate in Dental Clinical Specialties Foundations (CDCSF) Program<\/a> helps prepare them to enter any residency program.<\/p>\n

Suman Challa, BDS, MPH<\/a>, program director, said the growing demand for dental specialists and the highly competitive nature of dental residency programs was the driving force for the certification\u2019s creation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt our School of Dentistry, we get 300 to 400 applicants for three dental residencies,\u201d Challa said. \u201cThis program will help participants become more competitive and able to apply to our programs or programs elsewhere in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 12-month program begins in July 2024.<\/p>\n

DREAMS DON\u2019T EXPIRE<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Henao Casas nears the end of her 2.5- year journey back into dentistry, she uses an iconic Nike slogan to advise anyone considering applying to one of the programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter how old you are, how many years have passed since you practiced dentistry and how hard you think it\u2019s going to be, just do it,\u201d she said. \u201cApply, and if you don\u2019t make it this year, apply again and again. Don\u2019t stop pursuing your dream.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
