Law Section:: Education Law

2009-S1928 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S1928

 TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the education law, in relation to certain licensed
dentists


 PURPOSE :

To allow dentists licensed in another state to participate in
continuing education opportunities by accredited New York medical
centers.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 amends subdivision 3 & 7 of section 6610 of the Education
Law in relation to locations which dentists licensed in other states
may receive dental training to include any program that has been
accredited by a national accrediting body approved by the department
of health.

Section 2 provides for the effective date.

 EXISTING LAW :

Current law allows dentists licensed in another state or country to

engage in clinical practice in New York for less than 90 days when
receiving training at an approved dental school but contains no such
provisions for dentists seeking new skills at the Montefiore Medical
Center! Albert Einstein College of Medicine. This legislation would
allow dentists licensed in another state to take advantage of unique
training opportunities offered by the Montefiore Medical Center!
Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Allowing dentists licensed in
other states to take advantage of unique professional development
opportunities in New York will benefit New York Dentists as more
courses would be offered to accommodate the expanded pool of potential
applicants.

The law currently allows physicians licensed in another state to
practice medicine for educational purposes at both medical schools and
clinics. Enactment of this legislation would correct an oversight in
education law by allowing licensed dentists to avail themselves of the
same educational opportunities offered to medical doctors.

 JUSTIFICATION :

The Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine is
one of New York's largest providers of dental training to dental
residents. The center currently operates two unique programs for
experienced dentists to learn new skills and gain valuable hands-on
experience under the supervision of a licensed New York Dentist. The
seven day sedation program is one of only three programs in the nation
offering hands-on training in IV sedation while the two-day dental
implant course is the nation's only program to include hands-on
training.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

2007-2008 - S.4405: VETOED BY GOVERNOR
34 (2007)

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None to the state.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
