Higher Training Standard Proposed for Iowa Dentists

A bill drawn by the code commission would require a higher training standard for dentist licensure in Iowa. It adds one year of liberal arts for graduates of non Iowa dental schools and treats them the same as University of Iowa dental college grads. The measure aims for licensing consistency and to avoid discrimination against Iowa students despite opposition from some dental colleges. Dr. C B Miller notes few non Iowa graduates would be affected, estimated at 10 to 12 licensed in Iowa previously.
