In South Carolina, the sourced state record generally points foreign-trained dentists toward a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD or advanced-standing pathway, not a residency-only route.
In South Carolina, 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. SC Code Title 40, Ch. 15 (§40-15-140) requires 'satisfactory evidence of graduation from a dental college... accredited by the Commission [on Dental Accreditation]'. There is no statutory GPR/AEGD residency pathway to initial licensure for a non-CODA degree — a foreign-trained dentist must obtain a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD. Confirm the current rule directly with South Carolina Board of Dentistry (SC LLR) before choosing a program or filing an application. Exam signal: National Board (JCNDE) — NBDE Parts I & II or the iNBDE; plus a regional clinical exam. SC accepts ADEX, CDCA-WREB-CITA, CRDTS+SRTA. (WREB was retired Dec 31, 2022.) SC jurisprudence exam also required.
