I love how you hated being in charge so you became an officer...lol..I'm Retired Navy,.

Well, he doesn’t like being CEO. but as a manager, he’s okay. Imagine being the owner, paying bills, staff, dealing with patients AND the working to improve profit for yourself and your staff…it is hard and why many dentist go to CRO’s but I would choose this route as well. So far the army recruiters in UT have been helpful, albeit forgetful, and the Navy guy has been polite but also not as sharp. The USAF recruiter called me once, and decided I wasn’t “enough” 😂 (I graduated with honors from a top University). US Army has more spots followed by Navy and USAF has like 6 spots every year, same pay, same deal. Maybe just location and perhaps, patient pool and status? but I don’t think the USAF is all that fancy. It’s a game set on the law of averages.

Did you join?

Hello.
Are there opportunities in the Army for Internationally Trained Dentists that have become Citizens in the US???

[@hollon1697]

You need to definitely be licensed in United States. Not sure what foreign degrees would be accepted. Countries that are in NATO that have high standards of care would probably be a decent guess to be accepted

[@dzikijohnny]

From what I can tell no. You have to be from a US Dental School not a Foreign one even if you are a US citizen. This is different than Medical School. You can become a Military Doctor if you Graduated from a International Medical School (such as a Caribbean one) but, you have to do a full US Residency.

Make sure you speak w an Army HEALTHCARE recruiter

They said his name was William Richards, but they used this video. It’s 100% a scam.
