Welcome to ADEA CAAPID

Welcome!

The 2024-2025 ADEA CAAPID cycle is now closed.

You can log in to your 2024-2025 ADEA CAAPID application to add or update information, but you cannot delete anything. You also cannot submit your 2024-2025 ADEA CAAPID application to any new programs.

The 2025-2026 ADEA CAAPID application cycle will open in early March.

ADEA CAAPID® (ADEA Centralized Application for Advanced Placement for International Dentists) is available to foreign-educated dental graduates who wish to practice dentistry in the U.S. or Canada. ADEA CAAPID offers advanced-standing D.D.S./D.M.D. programs which are typically shorter in length compared to traditional degrees.

ADEA CAAPID simplifies the application process by allowing you to apply to multiple programs with one application. View a list of participating programs at https://programs.adea.org/CAAPID.

ADEA CAAPID is a service of the American Dental Education Association (ADEA).
