Sourced answer

In District of Columbia, 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. 17 DCMR 4202.1 requires the applicant to have (a) completed a dental education program at a CODA-recognized institution at the time of graduation and (b) received a US (incl. US territories) or Canadian DDS or DMD degree. A foreign/non-CODA graduate must therefore complete a US/Canadian CODA advanced-standing DDS/DMD. Confirm the current rule directly with DC Board of Dentistry (DC Health, Department of Health) before choosing a program or filing an application. Exam signal: NBDE Parts I and II or the iNBDE, plus a Board-accepted regional clinical examination (e.g., ADEX; historically NERB/CDCA). WREB retired Dec 31, 2022.
