riffatajmal · 11-14-2007, 07:33 AM

I have a DDS degree from USA. I ran my practice in us for 7 years. I just moved back to pakistan and wish to go to med school in pakistan. Would I be able to get credit for some courses i took in dental school?

i don't know bro. When I applied to medical colleges this year I read something about age limitations...it was like you had to apply within two years of your high school graduation. I think that was 4 overseas Pakistanis but there is an age rule 4 local applicats too...26 years of age. I don't know if this rule is actually enforced b/c i think there are few people on this forum who attended medical college after doing their bachelors from USA. If you are eligible 4 medical college in Pakistan then they will take your high school science grades and deduct 20% but if you have taken the science courses in pre dentistry then they can consider those grades aswell only if you want and they wont deduct any marks. I don't think they consider anything from dental college. May be someone else can fill you in with more info. Bro you can make millions of Rs in Pakistan with foreign dental degree.

Actually the age restrictions have recently been removed and admission to Pakistan Medical Schools is now open to students of all ages. Please refer to ARE YOU APPLYING TO PAKISTAN MEDICAL SCHOOLS OR COLLEGES? READ THIS FIRST!!! question #3.
