Assistant CE pageForeign-trained dentist pathway
CODA postgraduate program (residency) pathway ACCEPTED — no repeat DDS/DMD required. An applicant who did NOT attend an accredited (CODA) dental school/college must successfully complete a post-graduate CODA-approved program in either general dentistry OR one of the board-approved specialties, consisting of at least two consecutive years at the same institution (the Board does not accept an accumulation of shorter programs to meet this). This is a residency/postgraduate pathway, not an advanced-standing undergraduate DDS/DMD.
