Daniela Diaz takes step toward Swedish dentist exam

After 13 years in Sweden, Daniela Diaz, 38, is close to practicing as a dentist again. She arrived from Venezuela and has received support through a fast-track program at KI and from Tandvårdshuset in Borlänge.

Daniela Diaz arrived in Sweden from Venezuela in 2013. She had already worked as a dentist in her home country, but a Swedish exam is required to practice the profession here. She describes the process as a long struggle. She now sees the goal within reach thanks to the unique fast-track program at Karolinska Institutet and help from Tandvårdshuset in Borlänge. “Unreal”, she says about the development. The article is published in Dala-Demokraten and focuses on her personal journey.
