A member of my extended family is migrating from India (Punjab) to California. He has a degree in dentistry from a school there and practiced for several years. Does anyone know what exact hoops he has to jump through to be able to practice in California?
From what I can gather with my Googling skillz, he would need to:
(1) Take the NBDE Parts I and II
(2) Take the RT Exam given by the Dental Board of California
(3) Take the Dental Licensure Examination
All this I got from this page at the Dental Board of CA's website. Is that pretty much it? That doesn't sound too bad. So he doesn't have to go to school anywhere then, is that right? (I'm assuming his school was not accredited--are any Indian dentistry schools accredited here?)
Thanks for any help people, I know nothing about the dental licensing process.
