# Vermont foreign-trained dentist residency pathway

Answer: In Vermont, 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 pathway accepted: 26 V.S.A. 601(2)(B) allows licensure by exam for a graduate of 'a program of foreign dental training AND a postgraduate program accredited by CODA that is acceptable to the Board.' No requirement to repeat dental school / earn a full CODA advanced-standing DDS. (Full CODA DDS/DMD is the other route.) Confirm the current rule directly with Vermont Board of Dental Examiners (Office of Professional Regulation, Secretary of State) before choosing a program or filing an application. Exam signal: Written: NBDE Parts I & II, or iNBDE, or the written exam of the National Dental Examining Board of Canada.
