Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. Neb. Rev. Stat. 38-1117 requires 'proof of graduation with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree or a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from an accredited school or college of dentistry.' No alternative for non-accredited/foreign graduates is provided; a foreign grad must earn a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD (UNMC operates a 29-month advanced-standing program). Residency (postgraduate) licenses under 38-1123 require enrollment in an ACCREDITED school, so a CODA residency does not substitute for the accredited-degree requirement for full licensure.
