The Colorado Dental Board voted to amend their licensure policy to accept all existing licensure pathways including all regional clinical examinations, PGY-1, hybrid-portfolio and the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE), according to The Colorado Quickset, the official blog of Colorado ASDA.
According to The Colorado Quickset the decision allows candidates to:
- Take any regional clinical examination to apply for initial licensure in Colorado.
- Take the Canadian OSCE to apply for initial licensure in Colorado.
- Apply for licensure in Colorado if he/she went to school in California and were licensed via the hybrid-portfolio model
- Apply for licensure in Colorado if he/she went to school and were licensed in a state that accepts PGY-1 (a one-year residency).
