New York foreign-trained dentist residency pathway
In New York, 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 required — a residency does NOT replace dental school. A graduate of an unaccredited/unregistered foreign dental school must complete not less than two academic years of study in a registered/CODA-accredited dental school program (advanced-standing) and earn the DDS/DMD. Note: NY also requires ALL initial licensees (including U.S. grads) Confirm the current rule directly with New York State Board for Dentistry (NYSED Office of the Professions) before choosing a program or filing an application. Exam signal: National Board Dental Examination Parts I and II / iNBDE (scores sent directly from the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations) plus a Board-accepted clinical examination (NY accepts ADEX/CDCA).
