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). ## Related exam context National dental examination via the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations (iNBDE/NBDE) plus an approved dental testing service clinical exam: ADEX (CDCA-WREB-CITA), CRDTS, or SRTA; plus the Wisconsin statutes-and-rules (jurisprudence) exam and current CPR/AED.

Admin. Code DE 2.01(1m) and DE 2.04). The controlling requirement for foreign grads is the 2-academic-year supplemental/advanced-standing program at an accredited school — there is no separate 1-year GPR/AEGD-only route to a full Wisconsin license. ## Official sources - - - - ## Related - [All dental license reciprocity and endorsement states](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-reciprocity/index.html.md) - [Dental license transfer by state](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-transfer-by-state/index.html.md) - [Dental license by endorsement by state](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-by-endorsement-by-state/index.html.md) - [Dental license by credentials by state](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-by-credentials-by-state/index.html.md) - [Dentist and dental hygienist compact states](https://dentovio.com/dentist-and-dental-hygienist-compact-states/index.html.md) - [Dental license by state](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-by-state/index.html.md) - [Wisconsin dental license requirements](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-requirements/wisconsin/index.html.md) - [Wisconsin dental licensure exams](https://dentovio.com/dental-licensure-exams/wisconsin/index.html.md) - [Wisconsin dental board](https://dentovio.com/dental-boards/wisconsin/index.html.md) - [Wisconsin dental license lookup](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-lookup/wisconsin/index.html.md) - [Wisconsin dental license renewal](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-renewal/wisconsin/index.html.md)
