licensure by PG education

[nnjh]

Advertisement - Members don't see this ad

Which states give licensure after a specialty PG program? I know New York and Conneticut does. California only accepts aegd and gpr. Someone mentioned Minnesota and Washington state but their state dental board website did not mention this fact. Anybody have concrete facts / info on states that grant licensure after specialty PG training? Greatly appreciated.

Why don't you contact the state dental boards (via phone or website) of the states that you are interested in practicing in, and find out for yourself?

I'm not sure what the point is of your question (although I understand the question). Are you basing your future practice location on how easy it is to get licensed in that state via a post-grad program?

If so, you are selling yourself short.

I've already visited the websites and they do not match the facts stated by some postings. I'm posting here because its more convenient. Your reply was utterly uninformative and useless.

this is from ADA....

16 of the states that regulate specialty announcement require a state issued specialty licensee to announce as a specialist or to announce a limitation of practice in an area ofdentistry recognized as a specialty by the ADA.

Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri,Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia.

TEXAS requires a specialist to take WREB / NERB speciality exam for the speciality practice license.

The advantage of these states is that they will accept specialty board certified status in lieu of a general dentistry licensure exam (WREB, NERB)

..... I know New York and Conneticut does. California only accepts aegd and gpr. ......

california doesnot give any speciality dental licenses.....you have to take WREB or CA clinical exam..and practice your speciality...

Most people asking this question are FTD's wanting to skip dental school here in the States. Apologies in advance to nnjh for being utterly uninformative and useless.

The States that will accept PGY-1 for Licensure are: New York (required), Connecticut, Minnesota, Washington and California. In New York, you are required to do a PGY-1, they do not accept any licensure exam. Also, for California - the PGY-1 programs must be GPR or AEGD to be accepted for licensure. I heard a lot of people in specialty programs get upset about this.

 

[sleeplessinsf]

what if I do a GPR and get my CA license that way and then do a specialty, do I still need to take the WREB in order to practice my specialty in CA?

thats the smartest thing to do if you want to skip wreb and yet get licensed in CA for practicing your speciality 👍👍

Hello,

We do not issue specialty dental licenses. We only issue general dental licenses, and you can practice in any area you wish.

You can find information for all pathways to a dental license on our website at: http://www.dbc.ca.gov/applicants/become_licensed.shtml.

Thank you,

Washington does not have any PGY1 option in lieu of NERB/WREB etc

Actually the State of Washington (i.e. Seattle etc) does accept a PGY-1 option. It just got approved last year in 2008. If you goto www.ada.org. There is a pdf handbook that shows the timeline and it clearly states that Washington does accept the PGY-1 option now. The website that you posted might not be up to date.
