US Citizens that are Non-Puerto Rico residents &\u00a0Foreign Citizens<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the English language<\/strong> version of the Medical Sciences Campus main pages<\/strong> go to https:\/\/rcm2.rcm.upr.edu\/en\/start\/<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The University of Puerto Rico<\/strong><\/a> is the public university composed of eleven (11) campuses around the island. The Medical Sciences Campus<\/strong><\/a> is one of two located at the capital city of San Juan and it has six (6) Schools and all offer Masters and Doctorates. In addition, some offer post-baccalaureate certificates<\/a>, bachelor’s<\/a> and associate degrees<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you wish classes or courses taken outside the United States to be considered, you must submit them to a validation process with an agency authorized for that. In the past, we have accepted the reports from www.wes.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The academic programs of doctorates in Medicine<\/a> and Dental Medicine<\/a> have some limitations for the admission<\/strong> of students who are not residents of Puerto Rico but also opportunities in Rotations<\/strong>, Residences<\/strong> (specializations in medicine<\/a> and dental medicine<\/a>) and Research<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you are a college graduate, one of the first things you should do is to have your academic credentials evaluated. An institution accredited by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services<\/strong> (NACES – https:\/\/www.naces.org\/<\/a>) should examine all titles and certifications in order to verify their validity. For example, in the past the Medical Sciences Campus had accepted evaluations from World Education Services (http:\/\/www.wes.org\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

English-language skills may be a requirement for some careers. Therefore, the majority of exams are written in English and the applicant must also pass the TOEFL<\/strong> (Test of English as a Foreign Language – http:\/\/www.ets.org\/toefl<\/a>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PROCEDURE FOR DOCTORS<\/strong> – Foreign doctors must submit academic credentials from their native country’s school of medicine to the Education Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG – https:\/\/www.ecfmg.org\/<\/a>). To obtain ECFMG certification, they will be required to satisfy a series of tests offered throughout the year. Soon after, he or she must complete a Residency Program. A year after they complete their residence program, they should take the United States Medical Licensure Exam (USMLE – https:\/\/www.usmle.org\/<\/a>). Then they should complete the second year of the Residency Program, among other steps.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PROCEDURE FOR ODONTOLOGISTS<\/strong> – Dentists should first submit their credentials for evaluation to the Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE – https:\/\/www.ece.org<\/a>) agency. Later they should pass Part I and II of the National Board Dental Examination (NBDE – https:\/\/jcnde.ada.org\/search-results#q=examinations&sort=relevancy<\/a>)\u00a0 and present their results to the American Dental Association’s Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations. Afterward, they should complete two years of supplementary education in Odontology at a U.S. accredited university, among other steps.<\/p>\n

Dental Medicine<\/b> (DMD)<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Graduates from international dental schools who have satisfactorily completed an academic program of studies culminating in a degree, diploma or certificate in dentistry recognized by the appropriate civil authorities of the country in which the school is located, will be considered for admission to the School. \u00a0<\/span>http:\/\/dental.rcm.upr.edu\/advanced-placement-program\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The <\/span>International Program<\/b><\/a> allows you to enter our school, joining the group of third year of undergraduate. That is, you would have to do the last two years in our school and pass the boards or corresponding certifications to be able to exercise. For the residents of Puerto Rico, the Doctorate in Dental Medicine is a four-year program after completing the prerequisites of university courses that normally take from three to four years. This results in a total of seven to eight years after finishing high school. However, if you were already a dentist in your country, it would only be the last two years of study. For any questions, you may contact Mrs. <\/span>Magdalena Sepulveda<\/b> or the <\/span>Student Affairs Office<\/b> of our School of Dental Medicine specifically. Get them both at 787-758-2525 extension 2180 and 1219. You can also write to <\/span>magdalena.sepulveda@upr.edu<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Espa\u00f1ol” tab_id=”NonResES”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Ciudadanos estadounidenses que no son residentes de Puerto Rico y ciudadanos extranjeros<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

La Universidad de Puerto Rico<\/strong><\/a> es la universidad p\u00fablica la cual consta de once (11) recintos universitarios alrededor de la isla. El Recinto de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas<\/strong><\/a> es uno de los dos que est\u00e1n localizados en la ciudad capital de San Juan y se compone de seis (6) Escuelas que ofrecen Maestr\u00edas<\/a> y Doctorados<\/a>.

Si usted es graduado de universidad, lo primero que debe hacer es tener sus credenciales acad\u00e9micas evaluadas. Una instituci\u00f3n acreditada por la National Association of Credential Evaluation Services<\/strong> (NACES – https:\/\/www.naces.org\/<\/a>) debe examinar todos los t\u00edtulos y certificaciones para verificar su validez. Por ejemplo, en el pasado el Recinto de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas ha aceptado evaluaciones de World Education Services (http:\/\/www.wes.org\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

El dominio del ingl\u00e9s puede ser un requisito para algunas carreras. Por lo tanto, la mayor\u00eda de los ex\u00e1menes est\u00e1n escritos en ingl\u00e9s y el solicitante pudiera tambi\u00e9n tener que \u00a0aprobar el TOEFL<\/strong> (Test of English as a Foreign Language – http:\/\/www.ets.org\/toefl<\/a>).<\/p>\n
