Dental X-ray Machine Operator (formerly Dental Assistant Radiographer): 2 hours / 2 years in dental x-ray/radiation technology. EFDAs (Expanded Function Dental Auxiliaries) have NO CE requirement to maintain registration.
Assistant CE pageForeign-trained dentist pathway
CODA residency (GPR/AEGD) pathway accepted. A foreign-trained (non-CODA) dentist does NOT have to repeat dental school: completing a minimum two years of clinical training in general dentistry in a CODA-accredited General Practice Residency (GPR) OR Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) program substitutes for the CODA dental-school degree requirement (Ohio Admin. Code 4715-18-01). An advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD is one route but is NOT required.
