Foreign-trained dentist pathway

Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. Hawaii Board FAQ (rev. 07.16.25) states only CODA-accredited DDS or DMD degrees are acceptable for dentist (DT) licensure, and that 'Completion of an advanced dental education program at a CODA accredited dental college is NOT acceptable in lieu of a DDS or DMD degree.' A foreign (non-CODA) graduate must therefore earn a CODA DDS/DMD via a US advanced-standing program. No residency (GPR/AEGD) pathway.
