RDA (Registered Dental Assistant): 25 units / 2 years. First renewal is CE-exempt. RDAEF/Orthodontic/Dental Sedation assistant permits follow the same DBC assistant CE rules.
Assistant CE pageAdvanced-standing (international) CODA/Board-approved DDS/DMD required; residency does NOT bypass it. A graduate of a foreign dental school that is neither CODA-accredited nor Board-approved must complete a two-academic-year international/advanced-standing program at a Board-approved dental college and earn a DDS/DMD (or equivalent). Only after holding a Board- or CODA-approved degree can the applicant pursue Licensure by ADEX Examination or Licensure by Residency. Because Licensure by Residency itself requires graduation from a Board- or CODA-approved dental school, a raw non-CODA foreign grad cannot use a GPR/AEGD residency to skip the 2-year program.
