    • Simultaneously, some boards are exploring preceptorship training models for dental hygienists.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically examine the consistency of state dental boards' policies regarding professional licensure.
    • To analyze the implications of preceptorship training for dental hygienists in relation to quality control and professional standards.

    Main Results:

    • Requiring clinical board exams for out-of-state professionals and considering preceptorships for dental hygienists present a policy dichotomy.
    • Preceptorship training is argued to be inconsistent with the goal of quality control in oral healthcare.

    Conclusions:

    • Licensure policies should prioritize reciprocity and allow professionals to practice based on their education and demonstrated competency.
    • The pursuit of preceptorships may indicate a desire for professional control rather than a commitment to quality assurance.
