Ritsmitu Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hey, does anyone know if the university is an accredited dental school would that mean I wouldn't have to take the NDEB? If I do graduate from an accredited dental school and if I still had to take NDEB does that mean I can graduate from any dental school in the world and take NDEB and come back to Canada? thanks:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritsmitu Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Has any one taken the test before?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezura Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Graduates of accredited dental programs in Canada, USA and Australia can sit the NDEB's licensing exams to work in Canada. Graduates of any other dental program must complete a series of equivalency exams before they're allowed to take the NDEB. You have the alternative to complete a bridging program such as the ones at UofT and Western. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnesium Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 To get accredited you need: (1) dental education, (2) pass the NDEB written exam and the OSCE. There are reciprocal agreements between Canada/USA and Canada/Australia* that allow graduates from accredited dental schools in the USA or Australia to have their education recognized by the Canadian Board, and vice versa a Canadian graduate will be recognized by the Boards in the USA and Australia. (AFAIK no agreement exists between USA/Australia). Under reciprocal agreements, the education requirements are satisfied. *Australia/Canada agreement applies to graduates on or after March 31, 2010 For graduates of other countries (or Australia pre-agreement) you have to go through a few assessments to determine if you meet the required standards. If you do, you can challenge the board exams right away. If you don't then you need to complete two years of an Advanced Standing/Degree completion program in Canada before writing the NDEB. More info on both can be found on the NDEB website. http://www.ndeb.ca/en/ ------ For graduates of Canadian schools who want to work in the USA, we write their NBDE Part 1 and 2: http://www.ada.org/98.aspx To work in Australia, I don't know if there's a centralized board exam that has to be written (probably, but I can't find it), but maybe someone else can figure it out? --> http://www.ada.org.au/dentalprofessionals/dentboards.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezura Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 @magnesium I spoke to Prof Hawthorne, dean of international studies MD/DDS at melbourne and she said as long as you're licensed to practise in Canada as a DDS you can practise in Australia with no licensing exam required. Australia does not have a license exam for their own graduates either, as long as you pass all the exams at your dental school, you can come out and practise right afterwards.
