New Jersey foreign-trained dentist residency pathway
In New Jersey, 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. Graduates of dental programs outside the U.S./Canada (non-CODA) must complete two years of additional training in a CODA-approved program and receive a D.D.S. or D.M.D. degree. There is no CODA-residency-alone (GPR/AEGD) pathway to full general licensure — a residency does not replace the advanced-standing dental degree. Confirm the current rule directly with New Jersey State Board of Dentistry (Division of Consumer Affairs) before choosing a program or filing an application. Exam signal: National Board Dental Examination Parts I and II (now iNBDE for those who did not complete NBDE) plus a Board-accepted clinical exam.
