Our Story
We are a growing team of 10 co-founded and nurtured by an international dentist who bagged 10 DDS-DMD interview invites and an MBA graduate with multiple entrepreneurial ventures to his credit.
In 2019, Dr. Nourah failed her first attempt to secure admission to any US DDS program. Karthik, an MBA candidate at the time, used the skills being taught in an MBA program, like storytelling, building your brand & voice, and finding one's uniqueness to guide Dr. Nourah in her DDS application journey the second time around. This time, Dr. Nourah surpassed everyone’s expectations.
Dr. Nourah, currently an orthodontic residency student at UIC, and Karthik put together a clear recipe that they knew deserved to be shared with other international dentists seeking to practice dentistry in the US, and Pass Simplified was born!
Our Mission
We continue on the trajectory to offer vast, relevant, and comprehensive offerings that will develop international dentists' stories through a personalized approach that will grab the U.S. Dental programs’ attention.
With over 300 candidates coached by us, more than 150 numbers have secured an admit. Although admissions largely depend on schools, Pass Simplified guarantees a 50% increase in the potential for acceptance based on data from all candidates we have coached.
How are we able to do this?
We continue to grow as a team of experts in all aspects of a US Dental Program’s admission journey: clinical acumen, communication acumen, and administrative acumen.
