West coast to east coast

[User8088]

Hi, So I've really been looking into a school out west however I would like to practice back east once I am done I believe. Once dental school is completed how hard will it be to practice back in the north east? Will you just have to take several boards or how does that work? And when would you take the second boards after dental school is completed?

Thanks

I think Cali and Nevada accept the NERB from the Northeast, so it's possible the state in the northeast may accept the WREB or Cali board as equivalent. You will have to check your particular state for the particulars. Things may change drastically by the time you graduate anyway; plus you may like the weather out west so much it becomes a mute point.

NERB is kind of taking over. We really need just one unified test, however.
