# Oregon foreign-trained dentist residency pathway

Answer: In Oregon, the sourced state record indicates a CODA residency, GPR, AEGD, or advanced-education pathway may satisfy part of the licensure path under specific conditions. CODA residency (GPR) pathway accepted (as an alternative to a CODA predoctoral program), but under Oregon's 'license without further examination' rule. A graduate of a dental school outside the U.S./Canada qualifies by completing EITHER (a) a predoctoral dental education program of not less than two years at a CODA-accredited school, OR (b) Confirm the current rule directly with Oregon Board of Dentistry before choosing a program or filing an application. Exam signal: Passage of a Board-accepted dental clinical examination (ADEX/CDCA/WREB-legacy/CRDTS/SRTA/CITA) and English-language proficiency; national board (NBDE/iNBDE) per Board rule.
