It is the policy of Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education that an appropriate dental license is obtained from the Minnesota Board of Dentistry before beginning your training program.

To complete the dental license application:

• Select the application under Licensure by Exam Requirements.
• If you do not have your diploma yet, submit a copy of the front page of the dental license application along with the application fee. When the board receives this from you, it will send you the background (fingerprinting) information.
• Complete the fingerprinting as soon as possible and return it to the Minnesota Board of Dentistry. The board will then start the background study process.
• When you receive your diploma, send it along with the remaining parts of your application to the board. It is very important to do this as soon as you have your diploma to avoid a delay in your license being issued.
• It is not necessary to complete the nitrous oxide, conscious sedation, contracted sedation, or general anesthesia application.

For your Minnesota dental license, you're required to take the Jurisprudence Examination. This can be taken at any PSI exam center.

It is your responsibility to pay for the Jurisprudence Examination and licensure fees. Mayo Clinic reimburses these fees once you begin your training program. Keep a copy of your application as well as your check electronically, as you need these to be reimbursed.
