If you go to a California School and actually read the emails from your CDA student reps, you might have seen a blurb about Licensure by Portfolio. The concept of changing California Licensure from a clinical board exam to a licensure by presentation of satisfactory work over the course of your dental school career in a portfolio has been around a while and was recently presented to the CDA House of Delegates at their last meeting a couple weekends ago.
What are your thoughts on that form of licensure. I personally think it would be great, and if it happened...we'd be licensed WHEN WE GRADUATE. I'm sure there are drawbacks...any thoughts?

Well yeah.... !
The dental schools should take the brunt of responsibility in graduating capable practitioners.
Are there not just a wee bit of examinations during dental school??
Why should that not suffice?
Noooo, one more costly hoop to jump through....

I think that'd be a more realistic approach since nerb (don't know about others) are looking to see "ideal" preps with typodont dimensions. in real life, it doesn't always work out that way.
when I assisted last year, the guy I was working with did an ideal prep, sent the patient in with a modification request since there was still decay, the request came back rejected but you know..you have to remove the decay..so he did, sent the patient back in. they failed him because his prep was "overextended buccolingually" and had him temporize.
nevermind that the nerb examiners are all ancient white men who can barely even see.
