The majority of the work in dentistry is done as a consequence of the Agreement on Internal Trade. We have a one-point facility for the assessment of credentials and testing afterwards, which is the National Dental Examining Board. They have been doing that for the last 10 years in a model that had a qualifying exam for foreign-trained dentists that led to the qualifying program, as I mentioned. Thanks to some federal funding they were able to come up with a model that can lead straight into practice, mostly through the addition of some simulation practices.
