They have changed the exam completely since 1992.
If your cousin has been practicing for more than 5 years he/she can
apply for licensure by credentials if there is reciprocity between
California and New York.
You will need to check on this. If not your cousin is out of luck for
now and will have to take the boards again.
And if that is the case you can thank ADA and state components for not
doing anything about this. They just like to take your dues and party.OH, hogwash.
First, the state laws in California are not made by the dental
association. They are made by inexperienced, uneducated legislators
who would make every dentist in the state a public servant at LESS
than minimum wage if they had their way.If you really doubt that they want you to work for LESS than minimum
wage, just check out the current Denti-Cal fees. And after you're done
laughing, consider the fact that the state is SERIOUS about this. They
even have a proposal to CUT these inadequate rates by another 10%.Want to know why you are NOT required to print up and give every
patient a copy of the "New, improved" version of the Dental Materials
Fact Sheet? (Better known in its proposed Dec. 2003 incarnation as the
"Looney Tunes Dental Material Propaganda Sheet.)Well, if you haven't read the news, it's because the California Dental
Association organized thousands of dentists in the state to write to
the Board and insist that the new "DMFS" be based upon science, not
upon the politics of a couple of political Board appointees.In addition, dental researchers were contacted by the CDA regarding
the proposed DMFS in California. These researchers were amazed that a
legislative body would seriously consider publishing the nonsense on
the proposed sheet, let alone forcing every California dentist to push
unscientific political propaganda upon every patient in the state.
These scientists sent the Board their objections in writing.Inundated with these letters, the Board wisely decided to table the
proposed DMFS.ALSO:
Did you have to pay the California Prop. 65 fines, calculated at
something like $2500 per DAY?What, you didn't have to pay them?
Thank the CDA again.
