(Tashkent City
Medical Uchilische named for P. F. Borovsky, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Medical Nurse

Petition
for: Acceptance
of education.
Statement of
Problem: Ms.
Abayeva completed a three-year professional nursing program leading to a diploma
of Medical Nurse in Children's Institutions at the Tashkent City Medical
Uchilische named for P. F. Borovsky in Tashkent, Uzbekistan in June 1980. The diploma awarded to graduates of the
school’s general nursing program is Medical Nurse. Ms. Abayeva asks that her education be
accepted as satisfying the educational requirements for
licensure.
Section 6905 of New York State Education Law requires that applicants for
nursing licensure in registered professional nursing must have received a
diploma or degree in general nursing.
Ms. Abayeva’s school of nursing sent the Department copies of its nursing
curricula, listing courses and hours for both its general nursing program and
its medical nurse in children's institutions nursing program. Department staff have reviewed the
specific courses for both programs and have determined that the general nursing
study in both programs is substantially the same. The medical nurse in
children's institutions program requires more total hours than the general
program and includes additional hours in pediatric courses. Staff recommend that her nursing
education be considered equivalent to the general nursing education required in
Commissioner's Regulations.

Evanthia Lalla
5 Shaw Lane
Irvington, NY 10533
(Columbia University, New York, New York, Doctor
of Dental Surgery, May 2000)
Petition for: Acceptance of residency in lieu of
Part III of the licensing examination.
Statement of Problem: In 1993, Dr. Lalla graduated from the
Aristotle University School of Dentistry in Greece and came to the United States
to study at Columbia University in 1994.
After earning a Master of Science degree in Periodontics in 1997, Dr.
Lalla enrolled in the Doctor of Dental Surgery degree program at Columbia
University and was awarded the D.D.S. degree in May 2000. She satisfies the
preprofessional and professional education requirements for licensure in
dentistry. In 1999, Dr. Lalla
passed Parts I and II of the examinations of the National Board of Dental
Examiners. In 2001 and 2002, she
passed three of the four parts of the Northeast Regional Board Examination (Part
III of the licensing examination).
Commissioner's Regulations allow substitution of
an acceptable residency program in lieu of Part III of the licensing examination
if the residency was completed within two years prior to application for
licensure in New York State. The residency program must be at least one year in
length in a hospital or dental facility accredited by the Commission on Dental
Accreditation (CDA) of the American Dental Association. Dr. Lalla completed a
three-year residency program in periodontics at Columbia University School of
Dental and Oral Surgery in 1997. The Director of the Division of Periodontics at
the time Dr. Lalla was in the residency confirms her successful completion of
the residency. Ms. Lalla’s residency program satisfies the clinical requirements
stated in Commissioner’s Regulations, but she did not complete the program
within the specified two-year period prior to applying for licensure.
The Dean of the Columbia University School of
Dental and Oral Surgery states that Dr. Lalla joined the faculty of Columbia
University as an Instructor in 1997, and was promoted to Assistant Professor in
2000 and to Associate Professor in 2003.
He also reports that Dr. Lalla is the principal investigator on two
grants from the National Institute of Health/National Institute of Dental and
Craniofacial Research and is a co-investigator on a third grant. She has published papers in
peer-reviewed medical and dental journals and been invited to speak at national
and international dental and medical research meetings.
The Dean reports that Dr. Lalla has excellent
clinical skills and is a recognized expert in the area of periodontal surgery
and implantology.
Dr. Lalla asks that her residency in periodontics, completed in 1997, be
accepted to satisfy the residency requirement in lieu of Part III of the
licensing examination. Based on the
applicant's individual situation, the Executive Secretary of the State Board for
Dentistry supports her request.

Brendan G. O'Connor
Apt. #202
7045 South Riverwood
Boulevard
Franklin, WI 53132-8158
(Queen's University of Belfast, Belfast,
Ireland, Bachelor of Dental Surgery, July 1983)
Petition for: Acceptance of
education.
Statement of Problem: Dr. O'Connor did not complete the
two academic years of study required in an accredited dental school program
culminating in certification that the applicant has achieved the level of
knowledge and clinical proficiency expected of a graduate of that school. Such study is required for applicants
completing a program of dental education in an unregistered or unaccredited
dental school.
Dr. O'Connor was a resident in the 1984-85 Advanced Education in General
Dentistry (AEGD) program at Eastman Dental Center, University of Rochester. Dr. Hans Malmstrom, Program Director of
the AEGD Program, writes that during Dr. O'Connor's residency, he played an
important role in developing the two-year general dentistry program currently
offered by the Eastman Dental Center and achieved the same level of clinical and
didactic competence expected of a graduate of the current two-year
program.
In October 1985, Dr. O'Connor returned to Queen's University of Belfast
and in December 1990 earned the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery, and
Bachelor of Obstetrics degrees.
In July 1998, he entered a residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery at
the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, and successfully completed
the residency in June 2002.
Dr. O'Connor asks that his one-year AEGD program, his subsequent degree
in medicine, and his residency in oral-maxillofacial surgery at the University
of Washington be accepted as the substantial equivalent of the two academic
years of study in an accredited dental school program required of graduates of
unregistered or unaccredited dental schools. Based on the applicant's unique
qualifications, the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Dentistry
supports his petition.

Michele Labas
21 Barchan Dune Rise
Victor, New York 14564
(Illinois College of Optometry, Chicago,
Illinois, O.D., 1992)
Petition for:
Waiver of New York State practical examination
requirement.
Statement of Problem:
Dr. Labas has not passed a satisfactory practical examination, as
required for licensure, either by the endorsement or examination route. New York State accepts a passing score
on Part III of the examination of the National Board of Examiners in Optometry
(NBEO) to satisfy the practical examination requirement. The NBEO practical examination was not
available when Dr. Labas was licensed in Illinois in 1992.
Dr. Labas has documented over ten years of
licensed practice during which time she was certified in the use of diagnostic
pharmaceutical agents and therapeutic pharmaceutical agents.
Based on Dr. Labas' demonstration of
clinical skills through her years of hands-on licensed practice and her success
on other professional examinations, the Executive Secretary of the State Board
for Optometry recommends that the requirement for a satisfactory practical
examination (NBEO Part III) be waived.

04-04-70
Joseph William Nusbaum
11 Elizabeth Street
Red Hook, New York 12571
(National College of Chiropractic, Lombard,
Illinois, Doctor of Chiropractic, 1973)
Petition for: Acceptance of pre-professional
education and waiver of the requirements pertaining to acceptability of
licensing examinations.
Statement of Problem: Dr. Nusbaum completed the required
preprofessional education coursework for licensure except for a college-level
course in organic chemistry.
However, he later took this course after entry into his chiropractic
studies at National College of Chiropractic in Illinois. Section 24.3(a) of the
Commissioner's Regulations allows the Committee on the Professions (COP) to
accept study taken after entry into the professional program to satisfy
preprofessional education requirements. Department staff support such action by
the COP.
Also, Dr. Nusbaum took and passed the National
Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) Parts I and II examinations in 1971 and
1973. Commissioner’s Regulations
permit acceptance of passing grades on the NBCE examinations administered
subsequent to September 1, 1977.
The State Board for Chiropractic has recommended, since April 1992, that
all NBCE Part I and Part II passing scores be accepted regardless of the date of
administration as applicants passing the examination prior to 1977 usually have
extensive licensed professional practice.
Dr. Nusbaum has documented professional chiropractic practice since
1973. Staff recommend that the
licensing examinations be accepted and that Dr. Nusbaum's Virginia licensure be
accepted for endorsement in New York State.

Jamaica, NY

(Tuskegee University, Tuskegee, Alabama,
D.V.M., 1989)
Petition
for: Waiver
of New York State requirements pertaining to acceptability of licensing
examinations.
Statement of
Problem:
Dr. White-Weithers graduated
from an accredited veterinary medicine program in the United States in
1989. The applicant was licensed in
Alabama in 1989 on the basis of national examinations acceptable in Alabama. She
had also passed the December 1988 Clinical Competency Test (CCT). In 2000, she was licensed in Texas after
passing that state’s jurisprudence examination. However, she has not achieved a score satisfactory to New
York State on the National Board Examination (NBE). Dr. White-Weithers retook the NBE
in December 1990 and obtained a score of
74, one point below the minimum standard of 75.00 required by New York
State. Dr. White-Weithers has documented completion of
an internship in small animal medicine at Tuskegee University, subsequent
training and a passing score on the board certification examination of the
American College of Veterinary Dermatology, and satisfactory professional
practice in veterinary medicine.
Section 59.6(c) of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education
regarding licensure by endorsement stipulates that applicants must not have
“attempted unsuccessfully a licensing examination used by the State of New York
… unless such applicant has later passed a comparable licensing
examination.” Dr. White-Weithers
did not achieve a score acceptable to New York State on the NBE – a licensing
examination used by this state.
Therefore, according to this regulation, she would not qualify for
licensure by endorsement unless she had passed the NBE or a comparable licensing
examination.
However,
the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Veterinary Medicine recommends
that the combination of Dr. White-Weithers’ more than ten years of satisfactory
professional practice in Alabama and Texas, including her seven years as
Assistant Professor of Clinical Sciences in the School of Veterinary Medicine at
Tuskegee University, her certification by the American Board of Veterinary
Dermatology, and her performance on licensing examinations satisfactory to
Alabama provide sufficient evidence of her competence
to practice
in New York State. Therefore, he recommends that the
applicant’s Alabama license be
accepted for endorsement in New York State, waiving the specific requirement of
a passing examination score on the NBE examination.
|
APPLICABLE
REQUIREMENTS: |
QUALIFICATIONS: |
|
Section 6704
of the Education Law and Part 62 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of

Australia
(University of
Newcastle, Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, Bachelor of Medicine, November

Petition
for: Endorsement
of his Australian medical license and acceptance of hospital training completed
in Australia and the United Kingdom as the substantial equivalent of three years
of ACGME-accredited postgraduate hospital training.
Statement of
Problem: Commissioner’s
Regulations allow endorsement of an applicant’s license from another
jurisdiction if appropriate requirements are met. One of the requirements is the
satisfactory passing of an acceptable licensing examination. At the present time, New York State
requires acceptable scores on Steps 1, 2, and 3 of the United States Medical
Licensing Examination (USMLE). Dr. Ward has passed Steps 1 and 2 but has not
taken Step 3. Dr. Ward requests
that his medical license obtained by examination in Australia be endorsed. The Executive Secretary for the State
Board for Medicine recommends that the licensing examination he completed in
Australia be accepted to satisfy New York State's licensing examination
requirement.
Commissioner's Regulations require Dr. Ward to complete 3 years of
graduate hospital training accredited by the American Council on Graduate
Medical Education (ACGME). After finishing his medical studies at the University
of Newcastle, Newcastle, New South Wales, Dr. Ward completed general practice
training accredited by The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners,
Victoria, Australia, from February 2, 1997 to January 31, 2000. In August 2004, Dr. Ward began the
Oxfordshire Postgraduate General Practice Training Education program in Oxford,
England, and trained there until February 2004. He passed the required Summative
Assessment and was awarded a Certificate of Equivalent Experience from the Joint
Committee on Postgraduate Training for General Practice. Dr. Ward requests that
his hospital training in Australia and the United Kingdom be considered the
substantial equivalent of three years of ACGME-accredited postgraduate hospital
training. The Executive Secretary of the State Board for Medicine supports this
request.
