NDECC® Situational Judgement
The NDEB Dental Equivalency Process
Ace The Last Step of the NDECC® Exam
Course Overview
The National Dental Examination of Clinical Competence (NDECC®) Situational Judgement exam is the second and last part of the third NDEB equivalency step. At Prep Doctors, we have carefully crafted and refined our Situational Judgement course over the past three years to directly reflect what is expected of you on test day, as laid out by the NDECC® grading criteria.
The Situational Judgement component of the NDECC® exam assesses your aptitude for solving problems in clinical situations. With the 5 core competencies outlined by the NDECC® protocol, you will be required to complete 10 stations that assess your skills in patient-centered care, professionalism, communication and collaboration, practice and information management, and health promotion.
Prep Doctors has pioneered the preparation for the NDECC® Situational Judgement exam.
Throughout the years we have refined this course, ensuring it covers accurate NDECC® protocol. Our Situational Judgement Course consists of live lectures, additional prerecorded lectures, simulation mock sessions, and discussions supervised by instructors who are dedicated to providing a comprehensive training experience.
Our highly experienced instructors have trained thousands of dentists to clear the NDECC® Situational Judgement exam.
