I attended one of the best schools in Canada for Dental Hygiene and worked equally as hard as any student in an american program. I believe that all accredited colleges in Canada hold only the highest level of expectation for graduating students and those who go on to pass the board exam and work within the field. 

Going to another country or state to work should not be an issue granted that the individual can pass the state board exam. That would show the individual has a firm understanding of everything required to practice in that state from ethics, standards of practice and caring for each client. There for showing that individual holds the same knowledge as any current accreddited american university program.

I hope that one day soon Virgina and other states can recoginze CDAC accredited colleges for acceptable education and me writing this would further the support this petition.
