In Alabama, the sourced state record generally points foreign-trained dentists toward a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD or advanced-standing pathway, not a residency-only route.
In Alabama, the sourced state record generally points foreign-trained dentists toward a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD or advanced-standing pathway, not a residency-only route. Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. Code of Ala. § 34-9-10(a) requires every licensure applicant to be a graduate of a dental school accredited by the ADA Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). A foreign/non-CODA graduate cannot be licensed on the foreign degree; they must earn a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD (typically via a 2+ year advanced-standing/international program). Confirm the current rule directly with Board of Dental Examiners of Alabama (BDEAL) before choosing a program or filing an application. Exam signal: Written: NBDE Parts I & II, or the Integrated National Board Dental Examination (iNBDE), administered by JCNDE (per Rule 270-X-2-.01).
