ARCHITECTURE
Petition for:
Waiver of New
York State
requirements pertaining to acceptability of licensing examinations for licensure
by endorsement.
Summary Statement:
The petitioners listed below are all graduates of professionally
accredited architecture programs who have applied for licensure in New York. All have achieved, at a minimum, a
Bachelor of Architecture degree.
All petitioners have substantial documented licensed experience in other
states.
Prior to 1983, certain states did not require the Equivalency Examination
(EE) or the Qualifying Test (QT) if a candidate had a degree from an accredited
architecture program, and granted licensure upon passage of the Professional
Examination (PE). Prior to 1975,
most states recognized the Examination Syllabus (ES). The petitioners passed either the
national Professional Examination (PE) given prior to 1983, or portions of the
national Examination Syllabus (ES) given prior to 1975. Prior to 1983, New York State required passage of the Equivalency
Examination (EE), or passage of the Qualifying Test (QT) in addition to passage
of the national Professional Examination.
Each of the petitioners satisfied the examination requirement in his/her
initial state of licensure by passing an acceptable licensing examination and
attained licensure in that state.
Section 7304(4) of Education Law and Section 69.3 of the Commissioner’s
Regulations require for endorsement that “… an architect licensed in another
state or jurisdiction as the result of successful completion of only the
professional examination in use before 1983 may be granted licensure upon
presentation of evidence of two years of work experience of a grade and
character satisfactory to the State Board for Architecture and passage of a
practical examination satisfactory to the State Board for Architecture
…”
Each petitioner satisfied the examination requirement in his/her initial
state of licensure and has extensive professional practice satisfactory to the
State Board. Since the above
information illustrates evidence of competence within the profession, and in
lieu of the practical examination, the Executive Secretary of the State Board
for Architecture recommends that the examination requirement be considered
satisfied and each applicant’s licensure in another state be accepted for
endorsement in New York State.

DENTISTRY

Fethiye S. Ersan
Fairport, NY 14450
(Ankara University, Ankara, Turkey, Doctor of
Dental Surgery, September 1988)
Petition for: Acceptance of
education.
Statement of Problem: The Regulations of the
Commissioner of Education require not less than 60 semester hours of acceptable
preprofessional education. Dr. Ersan completed 30 semester hours of acceptable
preprofessional education. After
graduation from Ankara University with a Doctor of Dental Surgery in
September 1988, Dr. Ersan completed a doctoral program at the School of Dentistry, Department of Dental Diseases and
Treatment, at the University of Istanbul in February 1997. Commissioner’s Regulations allow the
Committee on the Professions to accept up to 30 semester hours of coursework
completed after the professional study toward the preprofessional education
requirement. The Executive Secretary of the State Board for Dentistry recommends
acceptance of the doctoral studies to fulfill the 30 semester hours of
preprofessional education the applicant lacks.
Additionally, Dr. Ersan 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. Ersan completed
the two-year advanced program in general dentistry at the Eastman Dental Center
of the University
of Rochester on December
31, 2006. This program is acknowledged by the State Board for Dentistry as the
substantial equivalent of the two-year program required in
regulation.

RECOMMENDATION: The Committee on the Professions, in
concurrence with the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Dentistry,
recommends that the applicant's doctoral studies at the University of Istanbul be accepted to satisfy 30
semester hours of preprofessional education. Additionally, they recommend that the
successful completion of the advanced program in general dentistry at the
University of Rochester be accepted as the substantial equivalent of the
required two academic years of dental study in a registered or accredited dental
school program.
Petition for: Three-year limited license to practice
Dentistry under Section 6604(6) of the Education Law.
Statement of Problem: The applicant listed below has satisfied
the education and examination requirements for licensure as a dentist in
New York
State. The only requirement
for full licensure that cannot be satisfied at this time is United States citizenship or immigration status
as an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United
States.
The applicant has an opportunity to practice dentistry in an area which
has been designated a Federal Dental Health Professions Shortage Area and
requests a three-year waiver of the citizenship requirement under Section
6604(6) of the Education Law. The applicant must sign an affidavit stating the
exact location of the shortage area where he will practice before the three-year
limited license will be issued.
Applicable Guidelines: Section 6604(6) of Education Law relates
to the requirement of United States citizenship or permanent resident status for
licensure as a dentist in New York State and allows the Board of Regents to
grant a one-time, three-year waiver of this requirement for an alien dentist to
practice in New York State if all other licensure requirements are satisfied and
to grant an additional extension not to exceed six years to enable the alien to
secure citizenship or permanent resident status, provided such status is being
actively pursued.

Federico Gattorno
Miami
Beach, Florida 33139
(University of Carabobo, Valencia, Venezuela,
Physician-Surgeon, December 1989)
Petition for:
Satisfaction of proficiency examination and postgraduate hospital
training requirements and endorsement of his medical license from Venezuela.
Statement of Problem: Commissioner’s Regulations allow
endorsement of an applicant’s license from another jurisdiction if appropriate
requirements are met, and the applicant has not failed any part of New York State’s licensing examination. A license granted in a foreign country
can be endorsed if licensure in that country is regulated by an organization
designated as responsible for quality assurance and acceptable to the Board of
Regents. Additionally, the
applicant must have passed a proficiency examination, have three years of
ACGME-accredited postgraduate training or the equivalent, passed an acceptable
clinical competency examination, and have five years of satisfactory
professional experience.
Dr. Gattorno has not failed any part of the New York State licensing examination. The Executive Secretary of the State
Board for Medicine has reviewed the documentation submitted in support of Dr.
Gattorno’s application. He recommends that the Specialty Certificate in General
Surgery from the Sociedad Venezolana De Cirugia satisfy the proficiency
examination requirement. Also, the
Executive Secretary has determined that Dr. Gattorno’s surgery training in
Venezuela and fellowship in
laparoscopic surgery at Mount Sinai School of Medicine is acceptable to satisfy
the required three years of postgraduate hospital training. Lastly,
Commissioner’s Regulations allow an acceptable diplomate certificate earned
through experience and examination to satisfy the clinical competency
examination. However, his Specialty Certificate is being used to satisfy the
proficiency examination requirement. Consequently, the Executive Secretary
recommends that the applicant complete an acceptable clinical competency
examination before his license from Venezuela can be
endorsed.
