The Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry (Meharry SOD) International Track Program is an advanced standing program for dentists who have completed their dental training outside of a Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) accredited U.S. or Canadian dental program. The program begins with a six-week, individualized training and assessment module centered on comprehensive preclinical dentistry and its biomedical applications. After the international student has successfully navigated the six-week curriculum, the student must complete the two-year clinical program to graduate. During the final year of this International Track, the student must complete the Final Clinical Competency Examination (FCCE) course. The FCCE is the same course offered to the traditional Predoctoral Track and is used to assess the competence of all students—International as well as Traditional (or Standard) Track.
