Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1)(a) A dentist who is employed at an accredited school or college of dentistry in this state and who practices dentistry in the course of the dentist's employment responsibilities must either make written application to the board for an academic license in accordance with this section or otherwise become licensed pursuant to sections 12-220-401 and 12-220-403, as applicable.

(b) Nothing in this section requires a dentist who appears in a program of dental education or research, as described in section 12-220-302(1)(f), to obtain an academic license pursuant to this section.

(2) A person who applies for an academic license must submit proof to the board that the person:

(a) Graduated from a school of dentistry located in the United States or another country; and

(b) Is employed by an accredited school or college of dentistry in this state.

(3) An applicant for an academic license must satisfy the credentialing standards of the accredited school or college of dentistry that employs the applicant.

(4) An academic license authorizes the licensee to practice dentistry only while engaged in the performance of the licensee's official duties as an employee of the accredited school or college of dentistry and only in connection with programs affiliated or endorsed by the school or college. An academic licensee may not use an academic license to practice dentistry outside of the licensee's academic responsibilities.

(5) In addition to the requirements of this section, an applicant for an academic license must complete all procedures for academic licensing established by the board to become licensed, including payment of any fee imposed pursuant to section 12-220-401 (1).
