No specific CE hour count published for dental assistants in the CE rule (W.Va. CSR 5-11); EDDA/expanded-duties credentials require board-approved coursework. Verify directly with the WV Board of Dentistry.
Assistant CE pageForeign-trained dentist pathway
Advanced-standing-style CODA program required (2+ years), which functions as a residency route only if it is a 2-year advanced program: W.Va. CSR 5-1-3.5 lets the Board license a foreign-dental-school graduate who holds certification of a TWO-YEAR (or more) advanced general dentistry training program from a US/Canadian CODA-accredited school; 5-1-3.6 similarly allows a 2-year (or more) CODA-accredited dental specialty advanced education program. A one-year GPR/AEGD alone does NOT confer full licensure. Without such 2-year CODA training, foreign-trained dentists are limited to intern/resident/teaching permits (5-1-3.3/3.4).
