How Did We Build this Course?

We surveyed 93 graduates or current students in international dental programs across the United States and asked them what they thought might have helped them when they were applying. Then we chose 16 current international students to participate in focus groups to collect more detailed information. Additionally, having run numerous in-person and online Synergy programs since 2018, we have used student feedback to further improve the program. Using all this data we built our curriculum which has three segments:

1.     to strengthen your application

2.     to improve your interview performance

3.     to help you get a head start when you begin in an International Dentist program
