12 years practicing in Hong Kong and I ....

[HK109]

..gotta go back to school

Anyway, have been to the UW and got some useful info regarding requirements to get a license in Seattle where I have recently located to. However, I do have a family to care of in the mean time and my questions to you are:

-Can I only legally work as a Dental Assistant without a local license?
-Is it worth going through the whole process again, or should I take the easier route as a Dental Hygienist?
-Any of you in the Seattle area?

Many thx

As a foreign trained dentist, you can do 2 years of AEGD or GPR to be eligible for a state license in WA. During those 2 years, you are pay, albeit at a low salary ~20 to 60K/year.
