Nevada foreign-trained dentist residency pathway
In Nevada, 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. NRS 631.230 requires the applicant to be 'a graduate of an accredited dental school or college'; NRS 631.015 defines 'accredited' as approved by CODA. No statutory pathway for a non-accredited/foreign graduate to gain full licensure via a CODA residency — a foreign grad must earn a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD. (Nevada is also non-reciprocity.) Confirm the current rule directly with Nevada State Board of Dental Examiners before choosing a program or filing an application. Exam signal: NBDE/iNBDE (written) plus a board-approved clinical examination — ADEX-based (WREB retired Dec 31 2022) per NRS 631.240 — and a written exam on Nevada law (Ch. 631) and board regulations.
