Maryland foreign-trained dentist residency pathway
In Maryland, 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 for full (general) licensure. Md. Code, Health Occ. §4-302(d) requires the applicant to HOLD a DDS/DMD (or equivalent) from a college authorized by a U.S. state or a Canadian province and recognized by the Board — a foreign (non-CODA) degree does not qualify, so a foreign-trained dentist must complete a U.S. Confirm the current rule directly with Maryland State Board of Dental Examiners (Maryland Dept. of Health) before choosing a program or filing an application. Exam signal: iNBDE (Integrated National Board Dental Examination; formerly NBDE Parts I & II) + ADEX clinical exam administered by CDCA-WREB-CITA.
