Foreign-trained dentist pathway

Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD (or equivalent CODA degree) required. NMSA 61-5A-12 and NMAC 16.5 require all dentist licensure applicants to have graduated and received a degree from a school of dentistry accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation. A CODA-accredited GPR/AEGD residency alone is not established as a standalone route to general licensure for a foreign (non-CODA) graduate — the underlying dental degree must be from a CODA-accredited school. (A separate CODA residency route exists only for specialty licensure.)
