CODA residency (GPR / postgraduate general dentistry) pathway ACCEPTED — no repeat of dental school required. Kentucky offers a distinct 'Licensure by International Training' pathway for graduates of non-CODA-accredited (foreign) dental schools: applicant completes TWO years of post-graduate training in a CODA-accredited general dentistry program (a residency), rather than an advanced-standing DDS/DMD.
