International Dental Studies (IDS) Program
International Dental Studies (IDS) are two-year educational programs designed for foreign trained dentists who wish to receive an accredited dental diploma in the United States. Completion of these programs allows foreign trained dentists to participate in licensing examinations in the Untied States. Currently, there are more than 30 accredited IDS programs. Dentists interested in attending these educational trainings also need to think about the financial requirements of these programs. The costs of these programs can reach up to $250,000 for a two-year period (this would include living expenses, tuition and other related educational expenses).

Miner Financial Company is willing to finance up to 90% of the eligible costs of attending these programs, for qualified dentists. Miner Financial Company has gathered and developed information regarding available IDS programs, their costs, acceptance standards and timelines for submissions of applications. Also, for individuals who need to obtain US work permit or residency upon completion of their IDS studies, we can provide you some general information regarding the process and avenues in completing this step.
You may contact one of our advisors, without any obligations on your part, to obtain information about our services. If you are interested in IDS programs, you will find our information about these programs helpful and you could also receive information about possible financing opportunities through Miner Financial Company.
