Foreign-trained dentist pathway

CODA residency pathway accepted (historically). Under former rule IAC 650—11.4 a foreign/non-accredited-school graduate could qualify by completing EITHER a postgraduate general practice residency of at least one academic year OR an undergraduate supplemental (advanced-standing) dental education program of at least two academic years at a board-approved accredited dental college. IMPORTANT: Chapter 11 (incl. 650—11.4) was RESCINDED effective 4/9/2025 and replaced by new rules effective that date; the residency-based pathway historically existed but the exact current-rule text must be confirmed with the Board before relying on it.
