Are you a foreign trained dentist in California?

[BTO]

Hey guys,

I am a foreign trained dentist living in California, i passed part1 and I am taking part 2 soon, I am trying to get a dental license here, my question is, is it possible to get the California license without doing a qualifying program ?

A lot of people told me that i have to do 2 years qualifying program, but i can`t find anything to prove that, I am confused now and need to know the answer.

looking forward to hearing from you guys.
