hi people.
I have a very very naive question for you all, but i would really appreciate help.
i am an international dental student and will complete my graduation in dec 2005. I know that to practice dentistry in the us, you need a license. I also understand that licensure requirements may vary from state to state.
Now, my question is, what is the minimum EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENT for licensure for most states ? (please give different answers for diff. states if possible). Do you have to do a DMD / DDS equivalent course - i mean something like an advanced standing course? or can you get away by doing a two year speciality course?
please understand that i am very new to these discussions........
i am currently in my native country, but have family in the us that can call you to ask specific questions if you allow.
