Nope. There are about 5000 dentists in California without an accredited
education, but with a license to practice.

For thirty years the state gov't. has invited them in, because in the
fantasies of the bureaucrats, foreign dentists will all go to
"underserved" areas and work for less than normal fees.

Of course if anyone could make a living working for substandard fees,
those areas would have been filled up with dentists years ago.

But the state government persists in its fantasies, depite the fact
that the foreign-trained dentists who have entered California do not
flood the poorer areas of the state.

To prove that, all you need to do is open the Beverly Hills phone book
to "dentists" and see who is there.

Flap's Reply:

Thank leftie California Governor Jerry (Moonbeam) Brown for this
expansion of the "bench test" for foreign educated dentists (?).  He
believed that a person could work their way up in dentistry.  For
example, start as an assistant and then eventually become a dentist
with work experience.

More foolishness came with California Democrat Governor Gray Davis (who
was later recalled) with the Mexican dental school accreditation and
Guest Worker program.

Anyone know the status of that follishness?
