foreign-trained dentist license in Virginia

In Virginia, a foreign-trained dentist has a sourced foreign-trained dentist pathway that may accept CODA residency or advanced education under the conditions described on the state page. CODA residency pathway accepted: a foreign-trained dentist qualifies by holding a diploma/certificate from a CODA- or CDAC-accredited program that is EITHER a pre-doctoral (DDS/DMD) program, OR at least a 12-month post-doctoral advanced general dentistry program (GPR/AEGD), OR a post-doctoral program of at least 24 months in another specialty that includes a clinical component. Exam signal: National board (iNBDE / NBDE) plus a clinical competency examination per Board guidance document 60-25; ADEX-based clinical exams (CDCA/CITA) and other Board-accepted regional exams. Verify exact accepted clinical exams in guidance doc 60-25. Confirm current requirements directly with Virginia Board of Dentistry (Dept. of Health Professions).
