The purpose of this study was to assess the concurrent validity of the National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB) Written Examination and Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) by correlating students' scores with their performance in the final year of the D.D.S./D.M.D.program.
The subjects of this study were the 2,317 students at nine Canadian dental schools who completed both NDEB examinations between 1995 and 2000. The findings indicate positive correlations (r=0.43 and r=0.46, p<, 00I, for the written and OSCE examinations respectively) between students' examination scores and final year results. Year-to-year and school-to-school variations were minimal. These findings supported the concurrent validity of both NDEB examinations.

Abstract: The National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB) conducts mandatory, high stakes, pass/fail, certification examinations for dental licensure. One of these examinations was a seven-part, simulated clinical examination in which candidates were required to perform procedures on typodonts. These requirements were two intracoronal and two extracoronal preparations, an amalgam restoration, a provisional crown, and a diagnostic wax-up. Feedback from candidates and examiners indicated that one or more of the requirements may not have been contributing effectively to the overall evaluation of candidates. The NDEB's Clinical Examination Committee therefore requested that an in-depth statistical analysis be performed to identify potential areas of concern and to provide a basis for modifying the examinations. The results of two examination sessions with a total of 168 candidates were subjected to both a discriminant and a logstic regression analysis.

Background
Canada's 10 provincial licensing authorities recently requested extensive changes in the process used to certify the gradudates of accredited faculties of dentistry in Canada. In response, the National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB) began to formulate a new examination process, which involves a Written Examination and an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE).

ABSTRACT
Following a lenghty and intense consultation with stakeholders, and an analysis of the present certification process, the National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB) and the 10 provincial licensing authorities recently approved major changes to the certification process for dental licensure in Canada.

There has been a great deal of activity recently directed to using competencies as part of the approach to dental education. The involvement of so many educators from so many schools has created an awareness and discussion that no single concept has engendered in several years.

Written Examination and Objective Structured Clinical Examination
INTRODUCTION:
The National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB) was established by an Act of Parliament in 1952 (Appendix A) with a mandate to establish the qualifying conditions for a national standard of competence for general dentists and to issue certificates to dentists who successfully meet this standard. The Act was supported by all ten provincial licensing authorities and by the Canadian Dental Association (CDA). Since that time, the NDEB certificate has been accepted by provincial licensing authorities as evidence of having met the national standard.
An Analysis of the Contribution of a Patient-Based Component to a Clinical Licensure Examination
High-stakes examinations such as those used by national, regional and state or provincial dental boards must have demontrated reliability and validity. The validity and reliability of these dental licensure examinations are under intense scrutiny by candidates, dental schools, dental educators, dental associations, and state or provincial dental boards.
A New, Integrated Certification Process for General Dentistry in Canada
As of January 1, 2000, in order to take the National Dental Examining Board of Canada’s (NDEB) certification
examinations, graduates of non-accredited dental programs (non-accredited graduates) have been required to
complete an accredited Qualifying or Degree Completion Program (QP/DC Program).
