Section 6604-B. Restricted dental faculty license

1. The department may
  issue a restricted dental faculty license to a full-time faculty  member
  employed  at  an approved New York state school of dentistry. The holder
  of such restricted dental faculty license shall have  the  authority  to
  practice  dentistry,  as  defined  in this article, but such practice of
  dentistry shall be limited to the school's facilities  or  the  school's
  clinics,  or  facilities  or  clinics  with  relationships to the school
  confirmed by formal affiliation  agreements.  Nothing  in  this  section
  shall  be  construed  to  authorize  such  holder of a restricted dental
  faculty license to engage in the private practice of  dentistry  at  any
  other site.
    2.  To  qualify  for a restricted dental faculty license the applicant
  shall present satisfactory evidence of the following:
    (a) The completion of a total of no less than six  academic  years  of
  pre-professional and professional education, including:
    i. courses in general chemistry, organic chemistry, biology or zoology
  and physics; and
    ii. not less than four academic years of professional dental education
  satisfactory  to  the  department  culminating  in  a degree, diploma or
  certificate in dentistry recognized by the appropriate civil authorities
  of the jurisdiction in which the school is  located  as  acceptable  for
  entry into practice in the jurisdiction in which the school is located.
    (b)  Within  the  last  five  years,  have  two  years of satisfactory
  practice as a dentist  or  have  satisfactorily  completed  an  advanced
  education  program  in  general  dentistry  or  in  a  dental specialty,
  provided such program is accredited by an organization accepted  by  the
  department  as  a reliable authority for the purpose of accrediting such
  programs (such as the commission on dental accreditation); and
    (c) Possesses good moral character as determined by the department.
    3. The dean of the  dental  school  shall  notify  the  department  in
  writing upon the submission of an initial license application and yearly
  thereafter  that  the  holder  of the dental faculty license is employed
  full-time at the dental school. Full-time employment means the holder of
  such dental faculty license devotes at least four full working days  per
  week  in  teaching or patient care, research or administrative duties at
  the dental school where employed. The dean of the dental school and  the
  holder  of  such dental faculty license shall each notify the department
  in  writing  within  thirty  days  of  the  termination   of   full-time
  employment.
    4.  In  order  to  continue  to  practice  dentistry,  the holder of a
  restricted dental faculty license shall apply for  and  hold  a  current
  triennial  registration  which shall be subject to the same registration
  requirements as apply to holders of unrestricted dental licenses, except
  that such registration shall be  issued  only  upon  the  submission  of
  documentation  satisfactory  to the department of the holder's continued
  status  as  a  full-time  dental  faculty  member,  provided  that  such
  registration  shall immediately terminate and the holder shall no longer
  be authorized to practice if the holder ceases to be a full-time  dental
  faculty member at an approved New York state school of dentistry.
    5.  The  holder  of  this  restricted  dental faculty license shall be
  subject to the professional misconduct provisions set forth  in  article
  one  hundred  thirty  of  this  chapter and in the rules of the board of
  regents and the regulations of the commissioner.
    6. The fee for each restricted dental faculty license shall  be  three
  hundred   dollars,  and  the  fee  for  initial  registration  and  each
  subsequent re-registration shall be three hundred dollars.
    7. In order to be eligible for a restricted dental faculty license  an
  applicant  must be a United States citizen or an alien lawfully admitted

  for permanent residence in the United States;  provided,  however,  that
  the  department may grant a three year waiver for an alien who otherwise
  meets all other requirements for a  restricted  dental  faculty  license
  except  that  the  department  may  grant an additional extension not to
  exceed six years to an alien to enable him or her to secure  citizenship
  or  permanent  resident  status,  provided such status is being actively
  pursued. No current faculty member shall be displaced by the holder of a
  restricted dental faculty license.
