Here in Oklahoma, you just pick up a form (any time you want to) and fill out the required information. After that, they just notify you, if you qualify. And it’s on a financial basis for qualification. So ... no lines for this one. I would imagine that not everyone who applies is accepted. And then I would guess you’re scheduled for whenever they have the next opening.
I don’t know all the particulars as I’ve never done that myself,
My dentist is one of the founders of this program.....he and many, many of his brethren give up lucrative chair time in their own practices to participate b/c the need is so great. Eventually, perhaps they will have to go to an appointment-type set-up as you demonstrate.
He said it is a grueling few non-stop days on your feet constantly....and many of the cases are quite desperate.
I’m glad they do this for our *own* and not some 3rd-world country.
