Does where you go affect where you practice?

How does it work if I want to go work in a different state other than the one where I attend dental school? I know there are license requirements and such, but do some states that don't have dental schools have agreements with neighboring ones that do so that the students don't have to take these exams again?

Does anyone have a link handy where I can find more information about this? Thank you.

No, it doesn't. Here is a link for you: http://www.studentdoctor.net/dental/state_boards.asp

I am sure that didnt help him at all.



A better question to ask would be this:

If you go to a dental school in Virginia and take their boards, can you practice in NC or do you have to take their boards too.

If you know your going to NC, can you just take the boards in NC.


Now answer that without a reference to other posts.

Licensing is based on the place where you want to practice and it doesn't have anything to do with where you going to school. If you want to practice in NC then all you have to do is take the licensing exam that NC will accept and you will be set. You don't have to take the boards of the state where you going to school. If you going to Virginia and you want to practice in NC then you don't need to take Virgina boards at al becasue it is not usefull and NC won't accept it.

Another example, lets say you going to school in NY but want to practice in Cali, all you have to do is take Cali boards. Don't have to take NERB etc.

Agreements that states without dental schools have is only for admission purposes. Your state may or may not accept the boards of the state where your D school is located. For example, New Mexico has an agreement with UMKC for admission purpose but when these students go back to New Mexico to practice they have to take the boards that New Mexico will accept. I hope I was clear enough.

You're establishing quite a reputation on the boards. I'm finding it difficult to find anything constructive in your posts. Start making relevant posts or quit posting.

Here's another question kind of along the same lines...

Does anybody know of states that have reciprocity in their licensure or boards?

For example, if I took and passed the California board, do any other states have reciprocity in that I can also practice in their state?

A similar question: Do you think most people end up practicing near where they went to school, just for convenience and because they feel at home their? Or do a lot move back to where they grew up?

I wonder how many stake out their own claim because there's a great practicing opening up or they just want a fresh start.... 😕
