In Vermont, a CODA residency, GPR, or AEGD may satisfy part of the licensure path. The sourced conditions and the board's own rule are below.
CODA residency pathway accepted: 26 V.S.A. 601(2)(B) allows licensure by exam for a graduate of 'a program of foreign dental training AND a postgraduate program accredited by CODA that is acceptable to the Board.' No requirement to repeat dental school / earn a full CODA advanced-standing DDS. (Full CODA DDS/DMD is the other route.)
Written: NBDE Parts I & II, or iNBDE, or the written exam of the National Dental Examining Board of Canada. Clinical: ADEX administered by CDCA or CITA (not incl. optional perio), or CRDTS, or SRTA; WREB accepted only if examined prior to July 1, 2020. Plus VT jurisprudence.
Statute confirmed in ADA VT Laws & Rules (26 V.S.A. Ch.12 Subch.3, 601). Board Administrative Rules updated Oct 15, 2025. OPR handles day-to-day licensing; the Board sets standards. The exact acceptable postgraduate program is at Board discretion ('acceptable to the Board').
