Description
Due to the pandemic, many dental schools have decided to implement a virtual exam in lieu of the traditional “in-person” bench/manikin examination of clinical skills. This course will be conducted online, live via a web platform to test your skills at diagnosis, treatment planning, error recognition, ideal standards, and critical thinking. The course will take you through the OSCE methodology and provide you with helpful seldom revealed insights to master these exams.
COURSE TOPICS
- Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
- Radiographic Interpretation
- Ideal Restoration Contours
- Ideal Prep Standards
- Physiologic Occlusion and Stable Occlusal Contacts

After the course introduction, Dr. Stevenson and Dr. Yadav will take you through a 6o-question intensive OSCE to assess your knowledge and identify weaknesses. After the exam, each question will be answered with the rationale and principles identified and clearly communicated.
