Dental schools in the state can provide waivers to prospective out-of-state faculty, but SB5113 would allow accredited dental schools to request temporary licensure for out-of-state faculty who have accepted employment at their schools. The temporary licensure would need to be approved by the Washington State Dental Quality Assurance Commission, according to a Feb. 22 news release from Sen. Judy Warnick, who sponsored the legislation.
The bill was passed unanimously and now heads to the state House for consideration.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
