Ponce Health Sciences University
This track consists of a 26-month advanced-standing pathway leading to the D.M.D. degree. Prior to enrollment in the D3 class within the D.M.D. program, applicants must be accepted and successfully complete the accelerated six-week Comprehensive Dental Foundations for Advanced Standing. It is a calibration and preparation course that reviews the fundamentals of dentistry across diverse clinical disciplines. This training is designed to prepare the students to integrate seamlessness into the Third Year. This innovative track includes private practice rotations in different sites across the Islands of Puerto Rico. Students will need significant capacity to spend time in different locations in PR and be able to commute/ flexible housing arrangements. Candidates would need to review state-specific licensure requirements for future practice in the United States (each State has its own dental licensure laws).
