Benefits Health coverage, vacation time, and liability coverage are provided through the University. Due to State of Oregon licensing laws, it has become virtually impossible for graduates of dental schools not accredited by the American Dental Association to obtain a license to practice dentistry in Oregon. Because our residents have to be licensed in Oregon by the second year of the residency, we are unable to accept applications from graduates of schools in countries other than the U.S. or Canada. One must be from the Dean of the dental school the applicant attended. If a general practice residency, internship, fellowship or other postdoctoral training has been completed or is currently being completed, it is required one of the letters be from the director of the program.
