ADA is mulling over the idea of starting a Post graduate Entrance exam from 2012 for entry into the Post Graduate programs all over US
The new entrance exam if happens will begin only after 2012.This coincides with the National Boards Examinations' decision to implement NBDE Part 1 and 2 ONLY Pass/Fail!
At present, NBDE part 1 and Part 2 scores were the biggest criteria for entry into such a program.
A task force is already in the way as told by ADA President Ronald L. Tankersley.
"The new entrance exam envisioned in Res. 56H-2009 would be an important element in the ADA's development and maintenance of educational standards", said Dr. Tankersley.
The task force will include two members of the Council on Dental Education and Licensure, one from each ADA-recognized specialty, a general dentist representing a general practice residency or advanced education in general dentistry program, one from the American Student Dental Association, one representative of a special interest area in general dentistry and one consultant. The House included those communities in the resolution to ensure the effort's long-term success, said Dr. Tankersley.
The task force will also consider several features for a potential examination as mentioned by ADA
(1) validity for quantitative scoring and secure format;
(2) input from communities of interest, such as dental specialty organizations, graduate school educators, the American Dental Education Association and testing organizations to help develop, evaluate and maintain the examination; and
(3) quantitative exam scores to be reported to individual examinees, dental school deans and graduate dental education/residency programs upon examinee request.
Finally, the task force will develop a comprehensive plan for consideration by the 2010 House of Delegates.
