hi, I wanna know what are the states where you can practice after doing a GPR ( without taking NERB). I know about Newyork, connecticut, ohio. any other state in this list.
It's not the north east (as it looks like your post was intended to focus on) but California will grant a dental license after completion of a 1 year GPR or AEGD.
Assuming you haven't taken the WREB and failed it. Another odd thing with California is that a specialty program doesn't count towards getting a license.
thanks I haven't takend WREB or NERB. I am a 3rd year student and will be taking it next year. I was just trying to find out all the states on east coast and west coast that grant licence based on 1 year residency only.
I might be wrong about ohio as I heard it from a friend only.I think NH is also on this list (http://vtprofessionals.org/opr1/dentists/forms/dentisteligibility.pdf). I'm not sure that Ohio is - where did you hear that?

I might be wrong about ohio as I heard it from a friend only.
so there are almost 5 states where you can practice by doing GPR instead of NERB or WREB.
connecticutHi!

New-York
Caliornia

Minnesota
Isnt that the craziest thing? If I wanna practice pedo in California after my residency, I need to prove I can do a crown prep and endo or spend a year doing crown preps and endo......something that I will never do for the rest of my life...
but they dont test me on my ability to do pulpotomies, SSC's, etc??? Makes absolutely no sense and the ones who developed this policy have obviously not thought this out at all.....
Minnesota requires a GPR???
I wouldn't let you do dentistry on my stuffed animals, thank god they are gonna make you do a crown, endo etc. I hope they make you do a heart surgery for the sake of all your patients out there
A friend of mine graduated from UConn, decided not to take the NERB because she knew she would practice in MN for the rest of her career. She did 1 year GPR in MN, and is now practicing in that state.Minnesota requires a GPR???
so we have california, Newyork, connecticut, Minnisota. I guess there is one more?A friend of mine graduated from UConn, decided not to take the NERB because she knew she would practice in MN for the rest of her career. She did 1 year GPR in MN, and is now practicing in that state.
So, MN requires the NERB, but if you don't have it - just do a GPR there.
Too bad they don't just allow you to take the NERB... Is there a website where one can see what is required for each state?A friend of mine graduated from UConn, decided not to take the NERB because she knew she would practice in MN for the rest of her career.

She regrets not taking the NERB while she was still in school, because now... she is thinking about moving to a NERB state.Too bad they don't just allow you to take the NERB... Is there a website where one can see what is required for each state?
Thanks Hysteria!There actually is a pretty up to date site listing which states accept which regional licensing exams. I don't have that link on this computer though. I'll try to find it later.
I'm not so sure about WA, seems like it's only limited license?
