In Delaware, 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 Delaware, 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. 24 Del. C. 1122(a)(1) requires a DDS or DMD from a dental college/university accredited by CODA. Because CODA does not accredit dental schools outside the US/Canada, a foreign/non-CODA graduate must complete a US CODA DDS/DMD (typically a 2–3 year advanced-standing program). No CODA GPR/AEGD residency-only workaround exists. Confirm the current rule directly with Delaware Board of Dentistry and Dental Hygiene (Division of Professional Regulation) before choosing a program or filing an application. Exam signal: National Board Dental Examination (iNBDE, replacing NBDE Parts I/II) plus a Board-accepted clinical/practical examination (ADEX/CDCA family; WREB retired Dec 31, 2022).
