sprakashp ji Thanks for your interest. I don't see the problem with Nepali women, Ansana Shrestha but the way of reporting. The reporter did not verify the facts. Hyaa bhanera thoki diya cha. .\ or there may be a possibility of herself giving the wrong information, which I doubt. And I know for sure, Ansana is NOT the first women dentist to study in a US University as claimed. The report is so damning and incomplete that it does not mention when was the exam taken, which kind of exam, on which level etc.? If it said; the first Nepali women dentist in BU then no one would have questioned anything. Now I begin to question, whether that was even worth reporting ? Here is an example of some other Nepali Women who have done Dentistry in US: Dr. Rupa Hamal was born in Kathmandu, Nepal. She graduated with a Bachelors of Dental Surgery from India and worked in Kathmandu for a couple years before moving to the USA in 1993. Her academic background includes a Doctor of Dental Medicine (University of Pennsylvania), Certificate in Periodontics and Masters in Public Health (The Ohio state University), and Masters in Oral Biology (University of Alabama at Birmingham). She has also held teaching position both in University of Pennsylvania and The Ohio State University. She received several awards while at University of Pennsylvania such as The Pass-International Dentist award (academic and clinical excellence award) and was nominated to Omicron Kappa Upsilon (Honor Dental Society). She was also nominated for Who?s who in American Universities in 1996 and a Fellowship award while at University of Alabama. Currently she is a Periodontist in private practice in Ohio
