Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 64B5-2.021 - Additional Education Requirements for Reexamination
(1) Any applicant who has failed to pass the
clinical examination in three attempts shall not be eligible for reexamination
until he or she completes a one year general practice residency, advanced
education general dentistry residency, or pedodontic residency or a minimum of
one academic year of undergraduate clinical coursework in dentistry at a dental
school approved by the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental
Accreditation. At the time of application for reexamination the applicant must
furnish proof from the educational institution of successful completion of one
of the residency programs listed above or the required coursework. However, for
those applicants completing their coursework immediately prior to the
examination or those applicants who have completed at least 9 months of a
general practice residency, who cannot provide an official transcript, proof of
having successfully completed the required coursework or residency shall
consist of a statement from the dean of the school where the coursework or
residency was completed that the requirements of this rule will have been met
prior to the date set for issuance of examination grades. Grades received by a
candidate taking the examination pursuant to this exception will not be
certified, and grade results will be null and void if successful completion of
the coursework or residency has not been established prior to the date set for
issuance of examination grades. Successful completion of coursework shall be
established by submission of an official transcript.
(2) The statutory provision that an applicant
complete additional educational requirements if he or she fails to pass a
specified portion of the examination three times is interpreted by the Board to
mean that additional education shall be required after every third unsuccessful
attempt, i.e., after the third, sixth, ninth, etc.,
attempts.
