Operative words
Pennsylvania Gives Dentists and Dental Hygienists Alternatives to Live-Patient Clinical Licensing Exam During COVID-19 Emergency. Summary: Dentistry is one of the only health-related professions that still requires a licensure examination involving a live patient.... Five regional testing agencies across the United States administer these clinical examinations. [Live-patient examinations were suspended during the emergency; the Board accepted alternative examinations.]
