foreign-trained dentist license in Florida

In Florida, a foreign-trained dentist generally requires a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD or advanced-standing pathway; no residency-only route was found in the cited sources. Advanced-standing / supplemental CODA program required — NOT a residency pathway. Under s. 466.006, Fla. Stat., a graduate of a non-CODA (foreign) dental school must complete at least 2 consecutive academic years of full-time study in a CODA-accredited supplemental general dentistry program that provides didactic and clinical education at the DDS/DMD level. The statute expressly excludes advanced education programs... Exam signal: National Board Dental Examination (Parts I and II / iNBDE), the ADEX Dental Licensing Examination (clinical; if taken outside Florida must be on/after Oct 2, 2011), and the Florida Laws and Rules Examination. WREB retired Dec 31, 2022. Confirm current requirements directly with Florida Board of Dentistry (Florida Department of Health).
