N.Y. Education Law § 6605: Limited permits

§ 6605. Limited permits. 1. On recommendation of the board, the

department may issue a limited permit to a graduate of a dental college

who meets the educational qualifications for admission to the licensing

examination in dentistry for employment in a hospital or dental facility

approved by an appropriate agency, while under the direction or

supervision of a licensed dentist. No such permit shall be issued or

renewed unless such graduate has a bona fide offer of a position in such

a hospital or dental facility.

2. On recommendation of the board, the department may issue a limited

permit for instructing in dentistry to a dentist not licensed under this

article to be employed by a registered school of dentistry or dental

hygiene to instruct and supervise clinical dentistry or dental hygiene

for students in such a registered school in the state, and in so doing

to practice dentistry as defined in this article, but only on the

premises of such registered school or such other premises as may be used

for instruction in the program of education conducted by such

institution. No person shall be permitted or authorized to instruct and

supervise clinical dentistry for students unless such person is licensed

in this state or holds the foregoing limited permit for instructing in

dentistry.

3. The holder of a limited permit under this section may practice

dentistry, as defined in this article, but only in the performance of

duties required by the position for which the limited permit is issued.

Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize such unlicensed

dentist to engage in the private practice of dentistry.

4. A limited permit under this section shall be valid for one year or

until ten days after notification of denial of an application for

license. A limited permit may be renewed for one year, except if the

applicant is serving in a residency program in a hospital or school of

dentistry in this state. A limited permit may be renewed annually for

the duration of such residency program. The fee for each limited permit

and for each renewal shall be one hundred five dollars.

5. Notwithstanding subdivision one of this section, dental school

graduates who meet the license requirement for education pursuant to

subdivision two of section sixty-six hundred four of this article shall

be deemed to be exempt persons pursuant to section sixty-six hundred ten

of this article and shall not be required to obtain a limited permit,

provided that they are employed in an approved residency program for the

purpose of fulfilling initial licensure requirements pursuant to section

sixty-six hundred four of this article. Not later than sixty days after

entry into an approved residency program, the dental resident shall

register on a form acceptable to the commissioner and pay to the

department a residency registration fee established by the department,

which residency registration fee shall be reasonable and shall not

exceed the limited permit fee specified in subdivision four of this

section. All persons deemed exempt pursuant to this section shall be

subject to all provisions of article one hundred thirty of this title,

including but not limited to having disciplinary action taken against

their residency registration status.
