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 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 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. We offer two separate simulations for each component of the NDECC® exam; Clinical Skills and Situational Judgement. With these simulations, you will be able to practice these components while receiving invaluable feedback directly from instructors who have taken the NDECC® exam. This course is ideal for those who are seeking additional practice through mock simulations.

Participants can enroll in different combinations for each NDECC component and are not limited to a single or paired simulation.

I had a conversation with Dipti about the NDEB process for my sister. She provided a comprehensive and detailed explanation of each step. As a result, my sister will be enrolling in the AFK course for the August cohort.I highly recommend Dipti's services. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact her.

I can’t speak highly enough about Sylvia. Her expertise in the subject of getting licensed as a dentist in Canada and the US is truly impressive. I felt as though our conversations were individualized with compassion and understanding and that she truly listened to my concerns and aspirations. Her deep knowledge of the licensing paths, financing options, and study strategies makes her guidance invaluable. Whether helping with course selections, university applications, or personal challenges, I believe Sylvia consistently goes above and beyond to ensure you feel confident and prepared. Her dedication and positive energy inspire trust, making her the best advisor anyone could hope for at Prep Doctors.
