I'm an associate now, so I'd like the freedom to go to multiple states to look for a practice. I can get licenses by reciprocation, but a lot of states are now requiring a regional exam anyways... Doesnt make sense to me, but it is what it is. I'm not too worried about operative, but like anything, there's a good deal of subjectivity. I am concerned with perio, As I havent done it in 8 years.
Good luck on the computer exams. I take it in 2 weeks. I live in such a rural place that I have to drive 6 hours to get to the test center!
What residency are you in?
