Bill Summary
Relative to dental licensing exams
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to change the requirements for dental licensing exams in Massachusetts. It removes the requirement for the exam to include the performance of any procedure on a live patient, allowing the exam to be written, oral, or a combination of both, as determined by the Board of Registration in Dentistry. The bill also requires the board to approve an exam that does not involve procedures on live patients by July 1, 2021, but until then, the board must continue to approve the current exam, which includes an irreversible procedure on a live patient.
