National Dental Board examinations are only offered in the United States. Foreign applicants must make arrangements through the Joint Commission on Dental Examinations to schedule this examination. Contact the Joint Commission at the address provided in the enclosed letter. Payment of the application fee must be paid through an international bank money order, made payable to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania. The University regrets that it cannot accept Euro- Checks or other forms of money orders as payment of the fee.
Interviews are a requirement.
Applicants scheduled to appear for an inter- view are provided with as much advance notice as possible in order to permit travel to the United States. An interview does not guarantee acceptance. The University cannot sponsor a visa application to enter the U.S. for the purpose of a National Dental Board examination or a PASS Program interview. Permanent residents and citizens of the United States are eligible for financial assistance in the form of government-sponsored loans. Students who are accepted into the PASS Program must show proof of adequate personal financial resources for the full two years of study before an I-20 student visa is issued.
