SCENARIO-BASED ORAL DIPLOMATE EXAM
The new Scenario-Based Oral Diplomate Exam is designed to objectively evaluate a sleep dentist’s knowledge, abilities and critical thinking, to credential them based on proficiency and clinical experience.
Scenario-Based testing is utilized by many medical and dental boards, and it allows for testing a large amount of subjects in a short period of time.
Scenarios and questions are developed by the ABSB and the ASBA Board members.
