  1. Dental Licensure

  2. Mutual Recognition • When one state recognizes the licensing exam or licensure requirements from another state • For Example: The current licensure exam in NY state is recognized by all other states in the North East and also by some other states outside of the North East region

  3. NERB Participating States/Jurisdictions CONNECTICUT DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ILLINOIS MAINE MARYLAND MASSACHUSETTS MICHIGAN NEW HAMPSHIRE NEW JERSEY NEW YORK OHIO PENNSYLVANIA RHODE ISLAND VERMONT WEST VIRGINIA Recognizing Jurisdictions KANSAS KENTUCKY MINNESOTA MISSOURI NEBRASKA UTAH States Accepting the NERB Examination

  4. Licensure by Credentials • When one states recognizes the licensure exam from another state as long as that person has practiced dentistry for (X) number of years • Some states give licensure by credentials after 5 years, 3 years, 1 year, etc. Some states even give licensure by credentials after 0 years, which is like mutual recognition but with a catch

  5. NERB • The North East Regional Boards • This board exam is the current licensure exam in NY state and all other North East schools • Many problems with this exam • Solution: NY state is no longer accepting the NERB as a licensure exam as of 2006

  6. PGY1 • PGY1 is a mandatory 5th year residency with an accredited residency program • As of 2006, PGY1 is the only form of licensure accreditation accepted in NY state • Practical way to achieve mutual recognition • This is both good and bad

  7. GME Funding • GME funding for dental residency programs was recently cut • In the past, all accredited dental residency programs were paid positions • Now, only hospital and some private residency program are paid positions • This could lead to many future problems

  8. ASDA’s Position • The American Student Dental Association strongly supports high quality dental education, and favors voluntary postgraduate training and the creation of additional postgraduate opportunities. The American Student Dental Association is opposed to a mandatory one-year post-graduate program or the addition of an additional year to the present dental curriculum. • The American Student Dental Association supports students having the option to complete a ADA accredited postgraduate residency program in lieu of a clinical licensure exam for the purpose of initial licensure.

  9. Future Possibilities and Problems • PGY1 becomes universal • Lack of residency programs • Ample residency programs (few funded programs) • PGY1 fails • NERB is no longer offered in NY state • Students have to drive themselves and their patients to another state dental school to take the NERBs

  10. Scenarios • NY state resident staying in NY state • NY state resident planning to leave NY state at some point in career • Non-NY state residents planning to leave NY state upon graduation
