Studying Dentistry in Poland ?

[Kazien]

I'm am a prospective Canadian student who would like to acquire some more information about the 5-Year Dentistry Program in English at Lodz or Poznan university.
To start off i will give you a little background about myself: I have completed a 4 year Bachleors of Commerce-Finance degree in Canada. However am considering studying dentistry in Poland. I have minimal biology, chemistry background from early high school.
Does anyone know if i have a shot at getting into any of these dentistry porgrams in Poland ? What criteria do you have to meet for admissions? Will admission be looking at my university gpa or high school grades?

If anyone is currently attending any of these programs can you contact me

Thanks

I do not have much info about dentistry, but from what I have found out form Lodz's North American representative, they do not offer an English Dental program as of now (I asked then on behalf of a friend). You would probably be better off at Poznan, and I think their requirements are straight forward, and are similar to those for the 6-year MD program

How would you get licensed to practice in Canada or the US?
