[QUOTE]Originally posted by MyKingdomForATaba2Koshari: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sonomod_me: [qb] FOREIGN SCHOOL APPROVAL In 1997, Assembly Bill 1116 was enacted to provide for the evaluation and approval of those foreign dental schools that provide dental education equivalent to that of similar accredited institutions in the United States. In 2000, regulations were developed and implemented that created the approval process. The fi rst school to receive this approval is the Universidad de La Salle, located in Guanajuato, Mexico. Their approval was granted on December 27, 2004. Students who graduate from de La Salle with the proper credentials will be eligible to take the clinical exam. They will not have to fulfi ll any other educational requirements. http://www.dbc.ca.gov/pdf/newsletters/newletter-april05_final.pdf Chapter 2 - Article 4 - Graduates of Foreign Dental Schools §1040.

Such application shall be accompanied by the required fees, credentials and documentation specified by the board and should be filed with the board not less than 90 days prior to the examination date requested. Applications may be accepted by the board, in its discretion, up to 45 days prior to such examination date. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to limit the board's authority to seek from an applicant such other information pertinent to the background, education and experience of the applicant as may be deemed necessary in order to pass upon the applicant's qualifications. (b) Credentials. The applicant shall furnish the following documentation satisfactory to the board: (1) A complete transcript of the academic and clinical dental school record of the applicant. Said transcript shall be accompanied by an affidavit showing to the satisfaction of the board that the applicant is the person named in each transcript he submits, that the transcript is a true recital of the full number of academic years of undergraduate courses required for graduation, that such courses of professional instruction in dentistry were accomplished in a resident course of instruction. (2) A legible, true copy of the dental diploma or dental degree conferred upon the applicant as evidence of the completion of the courses of dental instruction required for graduation. Such document shall be accompanied by an affidavit showing to the satisfaction of the board that the applicant is the person named in such diploma or degree, that he is the lawful holder, and that it was procured in the regular resident course of instruction and examination without fraud or misrepresentation. (3) The documentation required in paragraphs (1) and (2) hereof shall be authenticated by either the president, secretary, dean or registrar of the educational institution. (4) Credentials and documentation required by this section which are submitted in a foreign language shall be accompanied by a certified original translation by a qualified translator. (5) When, because of circumstances beyond his control, an applicant is unable to furnish any of the documents or authentication or certification required by this section, the board may in its discretion accept other documents which it deems satisfactory to establish the applicant's eligibility.
