TEMPORARY LICENSES TO PERSONS ENROLLED IN ADVANCED DENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS;
BOARD REGULATIONS (§ 54.1-2711.1)

A. Upon recommendation by the dean of the school of dentistry or the dental
program director, the Board may issue a temporary annual license to practice
dentistry to persons enrolled in advanced dental education programs and persons
serving as dental interns, residents or post-doctoral certificate or degree
candidates in hospitals or schools of dentistry that maintain dental intern,
residency or post-doctoral programs accredited by the Commission on Dental
Accreditation of the American Dental Association. Such license shall expire upon
the holder&#8217;s graduation, withdrawal or termination from the relevant
program.

B. Temporary licenses issued pursuant to this section shall authorize the
licensee to perform patient care activities associated with the program in which
he is enrolled that take place only within educational facilities owned or
operated by, or affiliated with, the dental school or program. Temporary
licenses issued pursuant to this section shall not authorize a licensee to
practice dentistry in nonaffiliated clinics or private practice settings.

C. The Board may prescribe such regulations not in conflict with existing law
and require such reports from any hospital or the school of dentistry operating
an accredited advanced dental education program in the Commonwealth as may be
necessary to carry out the provisions of this section.
