Assistant CE pageCODA post-degree/advanced clinical pathway accepted — a foreign (non-CODA) dentist does NOT have to repeat a full DDS. Michigan (Admin. Rule 650 / R 338.11xxx, 'Graduates of foreign dental schools') requires a graduate of a non-CODA foreign dental school to complete EITHER (a) a minimum of 2 years / 2,850 clock hours of clinical training at a CODA-accredited U.S. or Canadian dental program (an 'advanced standing' program, offered e.g. at Univ. of Detroit Mercy and Univ. of Michigan), OR (b) a minimum 2-year master's degree or certificate program in a CODA-accredited specialty branch of dentistry. This is a 2-year advanced-standing/postdoctoral requirement rather than a full 4-year DDS repeat.
