Exam and pathway context
Written: iNBDE, or NBDE Parts I & II, or the Canadian NDEB exam. Clinical: ADEX, CDCA, CITA, WREB, SRTA, CRDTS, or DLOSCE (results within 5 years) — OR the qualifying WA-based low-income CODA residency in lieu of the clinical exam. Plus WA jurisprudence.
Source notes
Residency pathway is conditional: must be a CODA GPR/AEGD/pediatric residency located in Washington serving predominantly low-income patients (RCW 18.32.040(3)(c)) and substitutes only for the clinical exam. WAC 246-817-160 was under review to clarify foreign-trained/non-accredited education requirements — verify current text. University of Washington also offers an advanced-standing DDS (UWIDDS) as a separate route.
