## Exam signals

Written: iNBDE (or NBDE Part I & II, score 75+). Clinical: board-approved regional exam (ADEX [CDCA/CITA], CRDTS, or SRTA), patient- or manikin-based per Rule 150-3-.01. Plus a Georgia jurisprudence exam. WREB retired Dec 31 2022.

## Pathway context

Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. Per GA Rule 150-3-.04, a graduate of a NON-accredited (foreign, non-CODA) dental school must show proof of successful completion, as a full-time student, of the last two years of a pre-doctoral program at an ADA/CODA-accredited dental school (i.e., a US advanced-standing DDS/DMD program), plus certification from that school's dean of equivalent didactic and clinical competency. A CODA residency (GPR/AEGD) alone is NOT sufficient in lieu of the pre-doctoral degree.

## Notes

Rule 150-3-.04 governs non-accredited (foreign) school graduates: requires the last 2 years of a CODA pre-doctoral program as a full-time student. No GPR/AEGD-only route. Statutory basis O.C.G.A. 43-11-40(a)(1)(A)-(B).
