The New York State Education Department (“SED”) Office of the Professions (“OP”) is alerting everyone to a vishing scam that has been brought to our attention. Phishing—or “vishing”—scams impersonate SED employees or websites attempting to collect licensure and personal information from the licensee. If you receive an inquiry which you believe to be suspicious do not provide any information. To verify if the inquiry was from OP, contact us directly. You may report any suspicious communication received to the Federal Trade Commission.

Effective July 2013, all schools will be required to request that students complete a dental health certificate. The Education Law Article 19, Section 903 was revised to include registered dental hygienists, along with dentists, as the professionals who are permitted to complete a dental health certificate. Please see the Dental Health Certificates (30 KB) and Questions and Answers for information about this new program.
