# Georgia foreign-trained dentist residency pathway

Answer: In Georgia, 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. Per GA Rule 150-3-.04, a graduate of a NON-accredited (foreign, non-CODA) dental school must show proof of successful completion, as a full-time student, of the last two years of a pre-doctoral program at an ADA/CODA-accredited dental school (i.e., a US advanced-standing DDS/DMD program) Confirm the current rule directly with Georgia Board of Dentistry before choosing a program or filing an application. Exam signal: Written: iNBDE (or NBDE Part I & II, score 75+). Clinical: board-approved regional exam (ADEX [CDCA/CITA], CRDTS, or SRTA), patient- or manikin-based per Rule 150-3-.01. Plus a Georgia jurisprudence exam. WREB retired...
