NDECC® Simulation Exams
The NDEB Dental Equivalency Process
Master Real-Case Scenarios with the NDECC® Simulation Course
Course Overview
The National Dental Examination of Clinical Competence (NDECC®) is the third official step in your journey to becoming a dentist in Canada. This two-day exam consists of two parts: Clinical Skills and Situational Judgement, and assesses the clinical competence of internationally-trained dentists or dentists trained in non-accredited programs.
The NDECC® Clinical Skills exam takes place on the first day of the two-day exam and assesses dental skills and techniques in alliance with Canadian standards. This clinical portion is conducted on manikins in a clinical setting with specific infection control rules.
The NDECC® Situational Judgement exam takes place on the second day of the exam and focuses on problem-solving in work-related situations, in alliance with the 5 core competencies. The Situational Judgement portion of the exam includes written answer questions, speaking with a simulated patient/person, and answering questions based on video cases.
This NDECC® Simulation Exam course is designed to mimic your NDECC® exam experience. This course is ideal for those who are seeking additional practice through mock simulations without the need for lectures. We offer two separate simulations for each component of the NDECC®. With the Clinical Skills and Situational Judgement mock simulations, you will receive invaluable feedback directly from multiple instructors who have taken the NDECC® exam.
Participants can enroll in different combinations for each NDECC component and are not limited to a single or paired simulation.
