Professional Recognition
The University of Sydney’s Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) program is fully accredited by the Australian Dental Council.
Graduates from The University of Sydney’s Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) program will be fully qualified to practice dentistry upon completion of the degree, as well as being eligible to sit for the Dental Examining Board of Canada (DEB) examination to practice as a Dentist (in Canada).
In 2010, the Australian Dental Council and the Commission on Dental accreditation of Canada signed a reciprocal agreement which allows accredited graduates of either body to practice Dentistry in Australia or Canada. This means Canadian students returning home with dentistry degrees from accredited Australian Dental Schools can follow the same licensing process as Canadian domestic graduates. Canadian license will be fully granted upon successful completion of the National Exam administered through the Canadian National Dental Examining Board (NDEB)
All Australian Dental Schools offered through KOM Consultants are fully accredited back in Canada.
