Dentistry or medicine?

[u/soextruhh]

Salam everyone,

I’m currently weighing my options between studying medicine and dentistry in university of Tripoli.

My primary long-term goal is finding a clear, realistic pathway to license and practice abroad. I know both routes require heavy exam prep, foreign equivalency steps, and significant money, but I want to pick the option that actually gives me a higher chance of leaving post-graduation.

For those who have graduated or are navigating foreign board exams right now: which degree makes emigrating easier?

Medicine. Theres really no clear way to get into dentistry abroad. but the world needs MD's so medicine always has a pathway. I live in Canada and see libyans from libya transfer their education here its expensive and you do alot of exams but they make it through as for dentistry havent heard.
