Dental assistants are not licensed/regulated by the state, so no state CE requirement. EFDA (Expanded Function Dental Auxiliary) certificate is permanent (no periodic renewal), but continuing education is required to maintain competency — verify current EFDA CE terms with DSPS.
Assistant CE pageForeign-trained dentist pathway
Advanced-standing program required, NOT a standalone GPR/AEGD: under Wis. Admin. Code DE 2.01(1m)(d) a foreign dental school graduate must show EITHER (1) a DDS or DMD degree from an accredited (CODA) dental school, OR (2) a dental diploma/degree/certificate from a full-time, undergraduate SUPPLEMENTAL dental education program of AT LEAST TWO academic years at an accredited dental school providing didactic and clinical education to the level of a DDS/DMD graduate. The rule does NOT list a 1-year GPR/AEGD residency as a standalone licensure pathway (some secondary sources claiming an AEGD/GPR endorsement route appear inaccurate; the same 2-year-supplemental standard governs endorsement under DE 2.04).
