147.34 EXAMINATIONS.
1. Each board shall by rule prescribe the examination or
examinations required for licensure for the profession and the manner
in which an applicant shall complete the examination process. A
board may develop and administer the examination, may designate a
national, uniform, or other examination as the prescribed
examination, or may contract for such services. Dentists shall pass
an examination approved by a majority of the dentist members of the
dental board.
2. When a board administers an examination, the board shall
provide adequate public notice of the time and place of the
examination to allow candidates to comply with the provisions of this
subtitle. Administration of examinations, including location,
frequency, and reexamination, may be determined by the board.
3. Applicants who fail the examination once shall be allowed to
take the examination at the next authorized time. Thereafter,
applicants shall be allowed to take the examination at the discretion
of the board. An applicant who has failed an examination may request
in writing information from the board concerning the examination
grade and subject areas or questions which the applicant failed to
answer correctly, except that if the board prescribes a national or
uniform examination, the board shall only be required to provide the
examination grade and such other information concerning the
applicant's examination results which are available to the board. Section History: Early Form
