Section 34-9-11

Examination of applicants; issuance of licenses.

When application and accompanying proof as are required herein are found satisfactory, the board shall notify the applicant to appear before it for examination at a time and place to be fixed by the board, and each applicant shall be examined and graded by number in lieu of name. All examinations provided for in this chapter shall be conducted by the board and shall be of such type and character as to test the qualifications of the applicant to practice dentistry. In conducting examinations, each member of the board shall submit his questions to the other board members, and the entire board shall decide whether or not each proposed question is fair and practical. It is provided, however, that the board may recognize any written parts of an examination given by the National Board of Dental Examiners in lieu of such examinations or subject to such examinations as the board may require. Those found qualified by the board shall be granted a license and a license certificate which shall bear a serial number, the full name of the licensee, the date of issuance and the seal of the board, and shall be signed by each member of the board.
