Case Western to offer AEGD training for foreign students

The Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine has finalized an agreement with Rambam Health Care Center in Haifa, Israel, to prepare foreign graduates for Advance Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) training at Case Western Reserve.

This agreement also allows for Israeli students to participate in graduate specialty programs. It outlines a program for foreign students to spend one year of preparatory work at Rambam, mastering dental competencies required in the U.S. After completing the program, the students begin the rigorous two-year AEGD certification program at Case Western Reserve.

The preparatory program begins in 2013. Two students will be accepted into the program to spend the year in Israel, followed by the accredited AEGD residency program in the fall of 2014 at Case Western Reserve.

Students will be recruited from Russia, East Asia, India, and other foreign countries. All classes in Israel will be in English to ease the transition when arriving at Case Western Reserve.

This training makes it possible for foreign students who have graduated from dental schools in their countries to begin treating patients on their first day at Case Western Reserve, according to the university.
