I certainly can't blame you for wanting to leave Baghdad. It's a tragedy what the US has done to your country.


You can do your dental residency here by applying directly to the university programs you may want to join.


I doubt you would be able to stay in the US after you finish your residency, though. I believe the US already has enough trained dentists. You may be able to stay if you agree to practice in underserved ares, like rural Kentucky or Tennessee.


Check the US Department of State's website to see if dentists are a profession in demand. If it is, you will probably be allowed to immigrate legally.
