With more than 80,000 patient visits per year and over 400 students and residents, the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine (CU SDM) is an active member of the clinical and educational Anschutz Medical Campus community in Aurora, CO—a community that you are invited to join.
The CU SDM Advanced Standing International Student Program (ISP) offers qualified graduates of international dental programs the opportunity to earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree at CU SDM. Graduates of this two-year, accredited D.D.S. program may take any state or regional board, and thus, are eligible for licensure and practice within the United States.
The program consists of didactic courses supported by some online resources, preclinical simulated courses provided within CU SDM and clinical courses involving direct patient care in the school’s clinic and community-based urban and rural health clinics.
