The program shall be balanced in the sense that it will provide a potential for innovative teaching possibilities as well as providing a resource whereby the dental student may experience a greater exposure to aspects of dental practice than those aspects encountered in the primary clinical and laboratory environment of the dental school.(d) Approved dental schools shall register mobile dental clinics with the board. Such registration shall be accompanied by information supplied by the dental school pertaining to faculty supervision, scope of treatment to be rendered, postoperative care, proposed itinerary showing locations by dates, discipline of which such instruction is a part, and a brief description of the equipment and facilities available. Any change in the foregoing information initially provided to the board shall be communicated to the board.(e) Mobile dental clinics shall constitute a part of an approved dental school teaching program.(f) The processing times for registration of a mobile dental clinic are set forth in Section 1061.Cal.
