Admissions Team
The International Advanced Placement Program (IAPP) of Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine (SIU SDM) is a full-time, Monday through Friday, 27-month program that offers qualified graduates of dental programs outside of the United States and Canada the opportunity to earn the Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) degree. Following successful completion of an initial three-month didactic review and intensive skills development course (Clinical Certification Course), that is designed to assure congruence with our traditional students, candidates will merge with the junior class to complete the final two years of the D.M.D. curriculum. Graduates of the program will have acquired the requisite knowledge and skills to engage in contemporary dental practice, and be eligible to take state and regional dental licensing examinations offered in the United States.
