  11. Is this really the way it has to be? • The Controversy

  12. ASDA Policy (L1: Interim) The American Student Dental Association believes that any clinical licensing examination intended to measure technical skill via a sequence of independent clinical tasks should: be a non-patient based examination emphasizing the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment planning of disease, in conjunction with the treatment of simulated disease by use of a typodont. be administered in the final year of dental school. provide opportunities for remediation, at the candidates‘ dental school, prior to graduation. guarantee anonymity of candidates and examiners. be administered by examiners who have been calibrated to provide standardized and consistent scoring. not include a written examination that duplicates the content of the National Dental Board Examination Parts 1 or 2. be offered to candidates at the lowest reasonable cost possible. be universally accepted by all state boards of dentistry. be psychometrically sound.

  13. ASDA Policy (L1: Interim) While the American Student Dental Association supports continual improvement of existing examinations and collaborative development of a new examination, the association believes the following alternatives are preferable to the current licensure process: Initial licensure without an independent clinical licensing examination. Graduates of a U.S. CODA-accredited dental school should be eligible for initial licensure without taking any additional clinical examination. A portfolio-type clinical examination based on cases compiled during the final year of dental school. Such an examination should require a standardized catalog of required clinical procedures and the portfolio should be evaluated by an examiner independent of the dental school. A non-traditional patient based clinical licensure examination. Although the American Student Dental Association does not support the use of live patients in traditional clinical licensing examinations, the association recognizes the potential for creation of an ethical, patient based examination. An Objective Structured Clinical Examination designed to evaluate a candidate’s diagnostic and treatment planning skills. Completion of a one year post graduate residency program. Completion of a U.S. CODA-accredited post graduate program that has a minimum duration of one year should be sufficient to substitute for the clinical licensure examination requirement in any jurisdiction.

  14. ADA policy (2005:3351) • Resolved, that the Association supports the elimination of human subjects/patients in the clinical licensure examination process with the exception of the curriculum integrated format within dental schools, and be it further, Resolved, that the Association encourages all states to adopt methodologies for licensure that are consistent with this policy.

  20. ADA Policy (Resolution 29-2012) Eliminating Use of Human Subjects in Board Examinations Resolved, that dental students providing patient care under the direct and/or indirect supervision of qualified faculty is an essential method of learning clinical skills including the ability to manage the anxieties, fears, reflexes and other emotions related to dental treatment, and be it further Resolved, that although the use of human subjects in licensure examinations raises certain ethical concerns, the practice is not in and of itself unethical as determined by the ADA Council on Ethics, Bylaws and Judicial Affairs (Trans.1993:109), and be it further Resolved, that the Association supports the elimination of human subjects/patients in the clinical licensure examination process with the exception of the curriculum integrated format within dental schools, and be it further Resolved, that the Association encourages all states to adopt methodologies for licensure that are consistent with this policy What’s Happening: • ADA Task Force on Portfolio Exam • Refining ASDA and ADA Policy on Patient-Based Exams 3.
