An effort by Nefesh B'Nefesh to ease the professional licensing process for dentists wishing to move to and practice in Israel drew only three North American dentists to Israel earlier this month for the clinical segment of the exam. The organization, in coordination with the Health Ministry, held the first segment - a written multiple-choice exam - in New York last spring, the first time any part of the exam was administered outside Israel; 16 dentists sat for the exam, and 13 passed. The 10 who passed but did not take the recent clinical exam have three years in which to come to Israel to be tested. "We held this test on a trial basis and we consider it a great success that 16 dentists came for the New York segment. We probably won't hold it on an annual basis because there are not enough dentists in the New York area to justify it, but we if we see that there is a need, we absolutely are open to doing it again," says Renana Levine, a spokesperson for NBN.
