ACJ – Assessment of Clinical Judgement
The NDEB Dental Equivalency Process
Master the ACJ Exam
Course Overview
The Assessment of Clinical Judgement (ACJ) exam is the second official step in the NDEB Equivalency Process. Considered to be one of the toughest exams in the equivalency process, clearing this requires precise knowledge of diagnosis, treatment planning, clinical decision-making, and radiographic interpretation. Our ACJ course will ensure you have the essentials to ace these components.
The ACJ exam is a 5.5-hour examination consisting of 120-150 single-answer and multi-answer multiple-choice questions that will assess how you will use your clinical skills to assess to real-life cases and radiographs.
Prep Doctors has incorporated over 300+ training hours, immersive mock exams, and intensive radiology training to guarantee full confidence on exam day. With this online course, you will be able to access a wealth of ACJ mock exams and practice quizzes to hone your clinical judgement skills. We also dedicate a significant amount of time to teaching radiograph analysis, making sure you are covered for every component of the exam.
