About the Program
The Internationally Educated Dental Professionals (IEDP) Bridging Program supports immigrant dental professionals in preparing for licensure in Canada and exploring alternative careers in the dental field.
Through structured study groups, access to healthcare library resources and targeted educational sessions, participants strengthen their understanding of Canadian dental practices, gain confidence and build professional connections. The program also offers guidance on career pathways outside of clinical practice to help participants navigate their options in the Canadian dental sector.
Designed to meet individual learning needs, the program considers each participant’s background, experience and professional goals.
80%
of IEDs reported are successful in their licensure exams
