Dentovio public answer
foreign-trained dentist license in Michigan
In Michigan, a foreign-trained dentist has an unclear or source-conflicted residency pathway, so the applicant should verify directly with the board before relying on it. CODA post-degree/advanced clinical pathway accepted — a foreign (non-CODA) dentist does NOT have to repeat a full DDS. Exam signal: NBDE (or iNBDE, which replaced the NBDE) conducted/scored by the JCNDE + ADEX clinical (written and clinical) administered by CDCA-WREB-CITA or another Board-approved regional agency; converted score of 75+ required on each component. Confirm current requirements directly with Michigan Board of Dentistry (Dept. of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs / LARA).
