HOW TO CRACK AIPG…IN THE FIRST ATTEMPT ! :

Posted by Dr. Madaan

The First and the Final Attempt

Let us first come to terms with reality. The MDS entrance exam is the toughest exam we will ever face in our academic lives. This exam is not just a challenge, but a chance for us to prove ourselves and our worth. It is an opportunity of saving a tremendous amount of money and earning an equally incredible amount of respect. But above all the MDS exam is the gateway to better things in life.

A few months ago, as I lay buried neck deep in books I thought, "What chance do I have against the geniuses, the toppers and colleagues who have dropped not one but many years preparing for this exam? 7000-odd intelligent people hardworking enough to have done BDS against my humble first attempt." I don’t claim I was very optimistic. But then something struck me from inside…a feeling that said, “I will not waste one year of my precious life doing this all over again” The thought stuck and I put a note on my study table which said – There’ll be no next time. It’s now or never.

That is the exact sentiment that I wish to discuss and emphasize upon. ‘The First & The Final Attempt’. I do not wish to preach…or consider my self an advisor of any sort. I just hope that maybe what motivated me, could motivate you. I hope that what I share with you will help you look at your preparation from a different angle.

MDS entrance exams are like baking a Cake. In order to prepare a good cake you need:

1. Right ingredients :

Just like a cake requires the exact ingredients, entrance examinations also require the right set of books.

-National Boards : They are the oldest, most reliable and most asked source of questions. The clinical part is especially very important

-Gowri Shankar’s MCQ bank: This book is the bible for exam preparation. Every question, every key fact, every fill in the blank should be memorised by heart.

-Bhatia: This is another good book, though it is an alternative to Boucher.

-Cawson: Though its popularity has decreased, it is always safe to do this book.

-Dental pulse: The latest book in the market comprising of two volumes- Clinical and Basics. This is the most complete book for mds preparation. Contains amazing original subject synopsis which would cover the grey areas and your weak points of various subjects or topics. The MCQ are from most of the past year exams and have been meticulously arranged chapter and topic wise.

-Past year Dental PG papers: Past year MCQs from various exams are a must do. Refer to Dr. Atul Soin’s AHEAD question bank series or Gowri Shankar’s past papers.

-Past year Medical PG papers: This is the most neglected , yet most important section since around 50 - 60 questions in the dental AIPG paper are inserted from the MBBS AIPG paper of the same year , and the MBBS questions are often repeated from their own bank. So you must do MUDIT KHANNA for AIPG and AMIT ASHISH for AIIMS. Last five year papers are absolutely essential. The questions would help you tackle the repeats and the explanation would help you with newly framed questions.

2. Proportion of ingredients:

Different exams require different amounts of preparation. You may have to stress on certain portions or topics for one exam and then change the pattern for some other exam.

3. Time to bake:

You need the exact time and temperature to bake a nice cake. But you should not undercook. Start before hand and plan out so that you have ample time for revisions. But at the same time you should not overcook. Do not stress on one book or topic far too long than required. Maintain a balance between revisions of various MCQs, theory and past papers. Chalk out a time table , and follow it.

“ If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”

4. Serve it while it is still warm:

You must revise what you have studied atleast 15 days before the exam. Human memory is very deceitful. It tends to forget the minute details if the subject matter is not revised regularly. Hence revision is the key to success.

5. Dedication, desire, & hard work:

This is the single most important factor. If u want to see your name in the list, what you need is dedication and hard work, and there are no short cuts. You need to study for atleast 12 - 14 hours a day for atleast 5-6 months before the exam. I know it may sound tough but remember “ When the going gets tough, the tough get going”

These are not absolutes of any kind. Just we have been taught in Orthodontics…that ‘There is no ideal…just individual ideal’ Similarly there is no ideal preparation method. Whatever works for you is what is meant for you. Hope I have been able to help.

Thomas Alva Edison once said “ success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”. We all at RxDentistry can take care of the 1%, but the rest 99% has to be done by you. Best of luck. And remember…this is the final attempt.

MBA or MDS ?

Posted by Dr. Madaan


MBA seems to be the most sought after post graduation option nowadays. So, if you are a doctor you must have contemplated this choice while thinking of MD S or MS. There are many management specializations for medical students. If you are confused whether to change your profession as a doctor and become a manager then you should follow your aptitude. If you are very good as a doctor then you should pursue a MDS or MS in the area of your interest. Or else, if you have good managerial skills then very well go for MBA where there is a lot of scope for you.

Doctors who go into management can find great jobs in hospital management and administration. There are big medical electronic companies like Philips or GE which would absorb MBA grads with a background of medicine. These companies develop products and services which can best be done by doctors. Besides, there is tremendous scope for clinical research. Doctors with management background can do a phenomenal job in terms of product development and management.

It is not necessary that you have to move away from your medical profession once you have a management degree. You can very well continue to practice. Infact, a doctor with managerial skills can provide the best treatment, which is cheapest for the patients. A MDS/MBA integrated degree is very popular in the west. More and more students are showing interest in health-care management.

Considering the amount of money spent on becoming a doctor, it is necessary that you have the skills to earn as much (if not more) in as little time as possible; for which business knowledge is crucial. However good a doctor you may be, or however great your clinic is, you need patients to keep coming in and that requires planning and strategic overview of things. However, people in the medical community are not simply pursuing MBAs as a sort of one-stop shop for business education. There are also master's degrees in public health care and executive MBA programs for doctors.

Whatever said and done, a MBA degree will help you make money but not save a life, only clinical knowledge will help you do that. So, it is very essential that you practice as a doctor for not less then 5 years before you pursue a MBA degree.

You can find employment in hospitals and other healthcare organisations. The tasks would typically involve managing the staff, health services and containing the expenditure. While both medical and non-medical graduates can take up the course, medical graduates would be dealing more with the technical aspects of hospital administration.

Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Maharashtra offers Master of Hospital Administration. The eligibility criteria are graduation in any discipline with minimum 50 per cent marks and age not more than 45 years. The admission is based on entrance test, group discussion and personal interview. For details, visit www.tiss.edu

Manipal University, Manipal Institute of Management, Manipal offers MBA in Hospital Administration and Health Care Management. The eligibility criterion is graduation in any discipline with minimum 50 per cent marks. The admission is based on performance at Management Aptitude Test, group discussion and personal interview. For details, visit www.manipal.edu

Doctors doing MBA for better pay

More doctors and healthcare professionals are joining management schools, turned away by the limited number of seats for a post-graduate course in medicine and the prospects of a better pay package after graduating from a B-school.

Doctors who have successfully completed an MBA course get job offers with packages of anywhere between Rs 12 lakh and Rs 18 lakh per annum. While ‘normal’ MBA students get Rs 8-18 lakh per annum. At IMT Ghaziabad, there was one doctor last year. Now, there are two, even as companies like Ranbaxy and Dr Reddy’s come for campus recruitments.

The trend is only increasing due to the boom in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry. The Indian pharmaceutical market (IPM), which was valued at Rs 55,500 crore last year, grew 8.9 per cent in July and 18.3 per cent in June, according to ORG IMS, which tracks sales of drugs in India.

Consider this: In the class of 2010 at the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, there are 13 students with a background in medical studies — up from 10 in 2008 and substantially up from six in 2007.

NEW ZEALAND DENTAL REGISTRATION EXAMINATION (NZDREX)

Posted by Dr. Madaan


- To practice in New Zealand, all dentists must be registered with the Dental Council of New Zealand.

· The Dental Council of New Zealand is the statutory body for maintaining self-regulation of the dental profession.

· A person is entitled to be registered as a dentist in New Zealand if she/he:
(1) Holds the degree of Bachelor of Dental Surgery from a university in New Zealand, or its equivalent
(2) Has a reasonable command of English
(3) Plans to reside and practice in New Zealand
(4) Is considered fit to practice dentistry by the Dental Council

· The Council, before authorizing the registration of overseas qualified dentists, require them to sit and pass Dental Council Examinations.

· Some dentists are not required to pass the Registration Examination conducted by the Dental Council of New Zealand.

Ƙ In New Zealand, there are three types of dental registration.
(1) Registration as a Dentist
(2) Registration as a Specialist
(3) Temporary Registration

First two types of registration allows to practice or work without any limitation. Temporary registration enables quick entry into New Zealand without examination. But it has restrictions and is more difficult than other types.


a. Registration as a Dentist.

This type of registration enables a dentist to practice in New Zealand without supervision. You must gain Registration as a Dentist before you can apply for Registration as a specialist.

b. Registration as a Specialist.

After gaining Registration as a Dentist, you an apply for Registration as a Specialist in a branch of dentistry. You must satisfy the council that you have that you have the appropriate qualifications, training and experience to justify Registration as a Specialist.

c. Temporary Registration.

This is limited to one year. In some circumstances, Council may extend Temporary Registration one more year to a maximum of two years.

Temporary registration is normally granted only if you are coming to New Zealand to undergo sponsored training for a specified period of time, or to give instruction.


The New Zealand Dental Specialist Registration Examination Process

Dentists and dental specialists are registered under the provisions of the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act (HPCA) 2003.

To gain registration in a specialist scope of practice you will normally be required to:

Be registered as a dentist in New Zealand or hold a prescribed undergraduate qualification for registration as a dentist in the general dental scope of practice; and

Hold a prescribed postgraduate qualifications, or have sat and passed the relevant New Zealand Dental Specialist Registration Examination

In addition you must satisfy the Dental Council of your fitness and competence to practice.

If you do not hold a prescribed qualification you can apply for an assessment of your qualification (using form
DR004). Please note that one of the prerequisites for entry into the specialist examination process is that you are registered as a dentist in New Zealand or hold a prescribed undergraduate qualification for registration as a dentist. If this does not apply to you we encourage you to satisfy the requirements for registration as a dentist in New Zealand in the first instance.

Holders of specialist qualifications from UK and North America are advised to contact the Council before lodging an application. In some instance holders of specialist qualifications from these countries may have their specialist registration approved without the need to sit the specialist registration examination.

In New Zealand dentists can practise the entire range of dentistry, however they may not use the title 'specialist' if they are not registered in a specialist scope or undertake any task beyond their training and competence.

The Dental Council has decided that time and resources will not be put into the development of examinations for any of the specialist areas until there is a demonstrated need for the examination. To date only the Orthodontic Specialist registration examination has been developed. Other examinations will be developed as and when required. This means that there could be a delay of up to eighteen months from the time your eligibility to sit the registration examination has been established and the staging of the examination.

NZDREX Specialist Examination Entry Requirements

To be eligible to sit NZDREX specialist examination process you must:

Be registered as a dentist in New Zealand in the general dental scope of practice or hold a prescribed qualification for registration as a dentist in New Zealand

Provide satisfactory evidence of successful completion of a three-year postgraduate dental qualification in your specialty at a recognised tertiary academic institution

Appear to meet the fitness for registration requirements of s16 of the HPCA Act 2003. This section requires that Council must be satisfied that you:

are able to communicate effectively and comprehend English sufficiently to protect the health and safety of the public. In this regard unless you can demonstrate that your first language is English and that you have studied for and gained your dental degree/s in English you will need to sit and pass a Council approved English test before entry to the NZDREX specialist examination process is approved. See Policy on English competence for details on approved tests have not been convicted of an offence punishable by imprisonment for a term of three months or longer which reflects adversely on your fitness to practise are not unable to perform the functions required for the practise of dentistry because of a mental or physical condition. are not the subject of professional disciplinary proceedings, investigations or orders which reflect adversely on your fitness to practise. In this regard Council will require certificates of good standing from every jurisdiction you have worked in as an oral health practitioner in the last 7 years. will not endanger the health and safety of the public.

Provide satisfactory evidence that you have been engaged in the practice of the specialty in the last three years.

Application process

Assessment of eligibility

When you apply to sit the specialist examination you must demonstrate that you have satisfied the above requirements. Once your completed eligibility application form, supporting documentation and payment has been received this will be acknowledged and your eligibility to enrol in the specialist examination will be assessed.

Confirmation of eligibility

If you are eligible to sit the specialist registration examination you will be issued with a letter confirming your eligibility to sit the examination. At this point the Dental Council will approach the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Otago with a request to stage the examination.

Timing of the examination

It will take between 6-18 months to set up the examination. The actual time between confirming your eligibility and the examination date will depend on a number of factors including:

Whether or not the examination has previously been staged

Availability of examiners

Number of candidates wishing to sit the examination.

The time of year you apply (the examination is likely to be held at the end of year to coincide with the examination of MDS students)

Format of specialist examination

The format of the examination process will vary between specialties but will normally include:

Ƙ A written examination

Ƙ Presentation of cases

Ƙ Clinical examination of unseen cases

Ƙ Oral Examination

Ƙ Assessment of research

Ƙ Examiners will normally comprise two School of Dentistry staff and one external examiner appointed by the Dental Council.


The standard of knowledge and experience required to be shown in order to satisfy the examiners will be equivalent to that of a registered New Zealand specialist practising the full range of the specialty at a specialist level. Allowance will be made for the fact that a candidate who has completed his or her studies some time ago may have had some fall-off in theoretical knowledge and may be less familiar than a graduating Master's candidate, with current published literature. However candidates should still have a satisfactory grasp of the basics, including classic references and have a reasonable grasp of contemporary literature.

Examination Handbook

Once the format of the examination has been finalised candidates will be provided with a detailed Examination Handbook relevant to the specialist examination they will be sitting.

Fees

The examination fee is set to cover costs and may vary between specialist examinations. The exact amount of the fee will be advised to candidates once the examination date has been set, but you should be aware that the fee will be in the range of $NZ 3000- 7000. This reduces if more than one candidate is sitting the examination at any one time.

Assessment of eligibility

At the time you lodge your application for an assessment of eligibility you are required to pay a non-refundable assessment fee of $NZ 540.

Examination fee

Once your application has been evaluated and your eligibility to sit the examination confirmed you will be asked to pay a deposit towards the examination fee. (This fee is likely to be in the region of $NZ 2,500.) If you decide to withdraw from the examination a proportion of this deposit will be refunded. The actual amount refunded will depend on when stage you withdraw from the examination.

Ƙ Section 21 of the Dental Act allows suitably qualified and experienced dentists to be registered
as specialists in the branch of dentistry for which they make application.

Dentists who hold full or temporary registration with the Dental Council are eligible to be granted specialist registration. The Council recommends to practitioners that up to two years be spent in general practice prior to embarking on specialisation.

Currently the Dental Council has granted specialist registration in the following branches of dentistry: restorative dentistry, prosthodontics, oral and maxillo-facial surgery; oral surgery orthodontics; periodontics; endodontics; community dentistry; hospital dentistry; paediatric dentistry; oral medicine and oral pathology.

Each application for specialist registration and each applicant is considered on a case by case basis and in accordance with the provisions of the Dental Act.

In assessing each application for specialist registration Council considers the statutory
requirements of s21 of the Dental Act 1988 which states:

(1) Except as provided in section 22 of the Act, every dentist shall be entitled to be registered as a specialist in respect of any branch of dentistry who satisfies the Council –

(a) That he or she is the holder of a qualification approved by the Council as appropriate for registration in respect of the branch of dentistry in relation to which the application is made; and

(b) That he or she has sufficient training and experience in that branch of dentistry to justify registration as a specialist in respect of that branch of dentistry.

In determining whether applicants for specialist registration meet the requirements of section 21, Council considers:

The comparability of the qualification with the appropriate Masters degree from the University
of Otago

The recency of the qualification


Any training and experience in the specialist field


Whether the applicant is practising that branch of dentistry at a specialised level


Referees’ reports

Each application for registration and each applicant is considered by the Council on a case by case basis and in accordance with the provisions of the Dental Act.

In assessing each application for registration from overseas-trained dentists Council considers the statutory requirements of s20 & 22 of the Dental Act 1988, which state:

Sn 20. Overseas Qualifications for registration –

(1) Except as provided in Sn 22 of this Act, every person shall be entitled to be registered under this Act who satisfies the Council…..

(a) that he or she intends to reside and practise in New Zealand

(b) (i) is the holder of a degree in dentistry granted by a university elsewhere than in
New Zealand; and
(ii) has, in the course of obtaining that degree, successfully completed a course of
study that is equivalent to the course of study set down for admission to the degree
of Bachelor of Dental Surgery of a university in New Zealand; and
(iii) is registered in the dental register kept in the country in which the degree is
granted. Or that there is a good and sufficient reason why he or she is not so
registered; and
(iv) has a reasonable command of the English language

(2) Council may, before authorising the registration of any applicant require the applicant to undertake and pass an examination set or recognised by the Council for the purpose of satisfying itself that the applicant has sufficient knowledge and experience to practise in New Zealand and that… the applicant has a reasonable command of the English language; and, … the Council may set or conduct or recognise such oral, written, and practical examinations as it thinks fit.

Sn 22. Fitness to practise dentistry –

(1) No person shall be registered under this Act –

(a) if the person has been convicted by any Court in New Zealand or overseas of any
offence punishable by imprisonment for not less than 3 months and the body
responsible for maintaining the register is satisfied that the circumstances of the
offence reflect adversely on the person’s fitness to practise dentistry; or

(b) if the body responsible for maintaining the register is satisfied that registration would
be inappropriate because the person is liable to face professional disciplinary
proceedings in another country or is under investigation by any dental professional
organisation in another country; or

(c) if the body responsible for maintaining the register is satisfied that the person would
be unable to perform professional duties satisfactorily by reason of any mental or
physical disability or condition; or

(d) if the body responsible for maintaining the register is otherwise satisfied that the
person is not fit to practise as a dentist … as the case may be.

Council also takes the view that “knowledge and experience” are requirements for registration in their own right (under Sn 22(1)(d) and/or Sn 20(2)).

In assessing whether an applicant meets the statutory requirements of the Dental Act, the Dental Council gives consideration to such particulars as:

the applicant’s course of study as compared with the BDS (Otago), including whether the
applicant is a graduate of university accredited by a sound accreditation process 1 and bearing in mind the difficulties in attempting to assess individual university courses on a paper basis:

whether the applicant has sat and passed relevant licensing authority examinations in the
country from which the dental degree was granted
overseas registration details


immigration status


recency of practice


post-graduate training


professional development


other qualifications held relevant to the practice of dentistry


1 Council recognises the following accreditation systems as having vigorous and robust accreditation processes, which accredit courses, which are considered equivalent to, the Otago BDS:

Commission on Dental Accreditation which accredits dental schools in the USA and Canada


The Australian Dental Council system which accredits schools in Australia


The accreditation system run by the United Kingdom General Dental Council (GDC). This involves UK dental schools and the following overseas schools: Western Cape (until 31/12/97), Hong Kong, Singapore, Witswaterand, Pretoria, Stellenbosch, Medical University of South Africa and Malaya (until 31/12/00). Generally this means that graduates of UK, Australian, US, Canadian, Hong Kong, Singapore, South African and Malaysian schools are registered subject to sitting and passing a two hour open book examination on NZ Conditions of Practice. Other applicants are normally also required to sit and pass the 6 hour Written Examination and the Clinical Examination which is conducted over 4 days.
Council will continue to assess and make decisions on the recognition of other overseas accreditation systems as they develop.

employment history


certificate of good standing from the jurisdiction/s last registered with
referees’ reports

previous NZDREX pass rates of contemporaneous graduates from the same university


details of any mental or physical disability or condition


police or Interpol checks


whether the applicant has satisfied the Council that he or she has sufficient knowledge of
the cultural, social and legislative framework for the delivery of care in New Zealand

evidence of English language skills. In general applicants are considered to have a
reasonable command of English:
- if English is their first language and they completed their primary dental training in English;
or
- they have passed a Council approved English test to the required level

THE DENTAL REGISTRATION EXAMINATIONS (NZDREX)

English Examination

Dentists who can demonstrate that their first language is English and that they have studied for and gained their dental degree in English are usually exempt from the English requirement.
However if this does not apply to you the Dental Council may require you to demonstrate your competence in English by passing an approved English test. These are:

1. International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic Band)

The examination has four parts: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.

sections III
& IV are about situations in educational and training contexts

The Test of Written English (TWE), a 30 minute writing test, is administered with the Paper Test five times a year. A separate TWE score is reported on the TOEFL paper-based score report.
The Test of Spoken English is a separate examination but must also be sat with TOEFL. The test is approximately 20 minutes long.
Important: While the TSE test is given at some TOEFL test locations, it is NOT administered as part of the TOEFL test.

B. Computer Based Test
The computer based test has four sections instead of three and includes TWE.
Listening,

Structure

Reading

Written expression,


The Test of Spoken English continues to be a paper- and- pencil based test and has to be sat separately. Council will accept both paper and computer based formats.

The Dental Council normally requires you to:
Score at least 230 in TOEFL, and

Score at least 50 in TSE

See website for additional information www.toefl.org


3. Occupational English Test (OET)

The OET examination is available in Australia and in Australian Embassies throughout the world. The examination has four parts: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.

The Dental Council normally requires you to pass all four parts of OET (Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking) with either a grade A or B pass mark.

See website for additional information: www.oet.com.au

Results

You must ask the examiners to send the certified results directly to the Dental Council. A pass in an approved English examination is normally required before you may sit anyother registration examination.

You must apply for registration as a dentist in New Zealand (Form A) before you can enrol to sit the Dental Registration Exams

Complete application forms (Form A) Pay fees
Send all the required documentation, including certified copies of your degrees, diplomas and qualifications

The Dental Council of New Zealand will consider each application on its own merits, taking into consideration applicants command of the English language and their knowledge and experience in the dental field. Therefore, very often Council requires overseas qualified dentists to sit and pass examinations to demonstrate sufficient knowledge and experience to practice and competence in English

Overseas qualified dentists(except for those from the United Kingdom and Australia) are strongly advised to enrol and prepare for these examinations while they await the Council's decision.

Complete and return Form C: Application, send in three passport sized photos and pay fees
There are three examinations:a. English Exam IELTS, OET, TOEFL or approved equivalentb. Written Registration Exam to establish whether candidates understand the scientific basis of oral health care, and this includes both written papers and visual materialc. Clinical Registration Exam to establish candidate's competence to deliver oral health care. This includes clinical, practical and oral exams.
Top of Form

Written Examination

The Written Examination tests your knowledge and understanding of the scientific basesof oral
health care and your ability to apply that knowledge - in the general area of pre-clinical health sciences (medical and oral). You should be able to discuss a wide range of issues of relevance
to oral health in the biological, physical (including biomaterial sciences) social and clinical
sciences.

The Written Examination is generally held twice a year in Auckland, Wellington, and Dunedin.

The Written Examination consists of two papers:

Paper 1:

is 3 hours


assesses your knowledge and understanding of the scientific basis of contemporary clinical

dentistry and how to apply that knowledge. In this paper some questions may require you to
demonstrate an ability to analyse and evaluate current knowledge.

includes essay and short-answer questions


You should note the difference between the following three terms frequently used in the
examination:

Discuss: examine by argument. Involves logical critical appraisal of an issue.


Describe: description of characteristics


Write (brief) notes on: short sentences or phrases. Tables, lists and/or diagrams may

be used.

The last two terms are often used in questions that enable you to demonstrate your breadth of
knowledge.

Paper 2

is three hours


includes 1 hour of 50 MCQs


includes 2 hours of visual material in the form of images illustrating clinical conditions and

questions requiring short written answers

Marking

Your script will be assigned a number and it will be marked anonymously by a team of

examiners

All marginal candidates will have their scripts re-evaluated by the principal examiners.


Papers 1 and 2 are scored out of 100 and are of equal value.


To pass the Written Examination you must gain a score of at least 50% in each paper.


You will be required to resit any paper in which a score of less than 50% was obtained.


You will normally be informed of the results of the written examination within 3 weeks of

sitting

Transitional arrangements

If you have gained a partial pass under the old written examination system (which ceased in
June 2001) you should note the following:

Passes in the previous written examination are valid for three years


Candidates current status Under new system

- partial pass in paper 1 Sit papers 1 & 2
- partial passes in papers 1 & 2 Sit paper 2
- partial passes in papers 1 & 3 Sit paper 1
- partial pass in paper 2 Sit papers 1 & 2
- partial passes in papers 2 & 3 Sit paper 1
- partial pass in paper 3 Sit paper 1& 2

A pass in the Written Examination is normally a prerequisite for the Clinical Examination.

CLINICAL EXAM

The NZDREX Clinical Examination is held three times a year at the University of Otago School
of Dentistry, Dunedin. It is an intensive exam held over 5 days with pressures equivalent to fifth
year graduation examinations.

The objective of the Clinical Examination is to determine whether you can plan, manage, deliver
and evaluate oral health care for individuals and communities. This includes determining whether you:


can obtain and utilise patient information


demonstrate competence in New Zealand’s preventive approach to oral health care for

individuals and the community

are competent in a wide range of interventive strategies to manage oral disease and

disability

can assess the effectiveness of intervention.


The Clinical Examination has two sections. You must perform satisfactorily in Section A before
proceeding to Section B.

Section A

OSCE:
This is an objective, structured, clinical examination (OSCE). It tests theoretical and practical knowledge.

You will be asked to write brief answers to questions or perform tasks relating to clinical care.
You must be prepared to explain the scientific basis of clinical decisions.

You will be asked to reply to questions or perform a range of set tasks on clinical oral care.

Typical tasks take 10 minutes. The total examination time is 2 hours.

Questions and tasks may include cardiopulmonary resuscitation, prescription writing, and problems of diagnosis and treatments, based on radiographs, photographs and study models.

Simulation:
You simulate a wide range of tasks and procedures using manikins in a clinical setting. There are 6 hours of operating over two halfdays. A dental assistant is provided.

Procedures may include operative, periodontal, paediatric, prosthodontic, endodontic or orthodontic tasks.

Examiners evaluate the way you perform the tasks and the final results.

Oral:
You sit a clinical oral examination (viva voce) of approximately 30 minutes duration.
Examiners may ask questions on any aspects of general clinical practice. You must be
prepared to explain the scientific basis for your answers.

Assessment of Section A

Your performance in Section A is assessed at a formal examiners’ meeting. If you perform
satisfactorily in Section A, you proceed to Section B.

Section B

Section B consists of clinical work with patients. You will perform various clinical procedures for
patients. Some procedures are irreversible. The procedures will normally be completed in less
than 1 hour.

Section B is divided into the following components: Restorative Dentistry and Periodontology,
Exodontia and Local Analgesia, Paediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, Oral Medicine and
Diagnosis and Communication Skills
Procedures tested may vary. However, they will normally include all of the following:

Administration of analgesia


Exodontia or minor oral surgery


History, examination, problem solving and treatment planning for patients of different ages

and states of health

Specific clinical procedures from the range expected of a general dental practitioner in New

Zealand.

During the Oral Medicine and Diagnosis component of the Clinical Examination candidates are
evaluated by additional examiners skilled in communication skills assessment. You are
expected to display the current Year 2 – 4 BDS (Otago) competencies.

Communication Skills Competencies

Candidates should have mastered a set of communication competencies that are basic to the
establishment of rapport with patients. The requirements are that a candidate should be able
to:

1. Greet a patient warmly and introduce himself or herself confidently.

2. Attend to the patient’s comfort, for example to offer to hang up coats and hats, ensure the patient is seated comfortably, and minimise distractions.

3. Arrange the local environment so that it is appropriate for an interview, the patient in an
upright position, the candidate facing the patient at the same height, with due attention to personal space.

4. Use open-ended questions to obtain information, and provide feedback in the form of reflective responses to indicate that what the patient is saying is important.

5. Use non-verbal behaviour that demonstrates attentiveness and active listening.

6. Give uncomplicated information, using terms that the patient can understand.

7. Summarise for the patient the findings and accomplishment of the interaction.

8. Close the interaction in a warm and confident matter.

9. To elicit accurate medical and dental histories from patients.

10. To react appropriately during analgesic procedures so as to minimise clinician and
patient anxiety.

11. To demonstrate a skilled and caring approach to patients.

12. To show a professional interaction with colleagues and staff.

13. To understand the principles and practice of providing health advice and optimising client compliance.

The Clinical Examination is a test of overall clinical competence. It does not necessarily consist of “stand alone” examinations in each of the nine disciplines.

Marking

Two examiners are present at all face to face encounters


A letter grade (A to E) marking scale is used.


Compensation may be allowed for marginal failures between sections of the examination.


Final results are reviewed at an examiners’ meeting with a non-examining, DCNZ appointed

Examinations Director chairing the meeting.

Observers, appointed by the Council, may be in attendance to observe the conduct of the

Clinical Examination.

D or E grades denote a lack of clinical competence or a lack of professional skills

considered potentially dangerous and /or unacceptable.

Clinical Examination results are usually available within 1 week.


Partial Pass in the Clinical Examination

Candidates who display high levels of competence in some areas of the Clinical Examination may be recommended to re-sit only those parts that they failed. Given however that the Clinical Examination is a test of overall clinical competence this is the exception rather than the rule.

The components to be repeated will be determined by the examiners.

Withdrawal from the Clinical Examination Candidates who withdraw from the Clinical should do so as early as possible to allow the examination place to be offered to another candidate.

If you decide to withdraw and if the Dental Council is advised 0–6 days before the first day of the examination, the fee will not normally be refunded. In addition the withdrawal will be viewed as a failure of the Clinical Examination in terms of deciding the candidates priority for any future Clinical Examination applications. However, in exceptional circumstances such as severe illness or urgent domestic problems, the Dental Council may consider refunding part of the fee and/or maintaining the candidates correct priority placing. In this case, you must produce documented proof of the exceptional circumstances.

Hepatitis Report

You are required to provide a current Hepatitis B & C status report including Hepatiitis B surface
antigen and antibody and Hepatitis C antibody. This report should be less than 6 months old at
the time of the Clinical Examination. Only the original, typed and signed results will be accepted.
The test must be carried out at a Telarc registered laboratory in New Zealand. If this is not
possible candidates for the Clinical will be tested on the familiarisation morning of the exam
week.



General Suggestions on Preparation for the Clinical Examination.

•Try to get a good night’s sleep before the examination. Do not use stimulants.

•Dress comfortably and tidily for the examination.

•Allow ample time for travel. Perhaps check out the venue for the examination the day
before.

•Bring a watch to assist in pacing the examinations.

•Clinical skills, application of dental knowledge and communication skills are all tested. Your ability to communicate with the patient (or patient’s guardian) is an important part of the exam. Council recommends that you practise your English as a part of preparing for the
Clinical Examination.

•If you are uncertain about any instruction or question from the examiners during your
Clinical Examination, ask for clarification.

•Candidates sometimes appear to overlook the fact that real patients are present in the
Clinical Examination. Courteousness and thoughtfulness towards the patient are noted by
the examiners.

DENTISTRY IN AUSTRALIA: STUDY MATERIAL AND COMPLETE INFO

Posted by Dr. Madaan




MOTHER OF ALL INFO:

ABOUT ENTRY TO AUSTRAILIA, FOR INDIAN AND FOREIGN TRAINED DENTISTS.





Introduction

This is for information and guidance of overseas trained dentists who wish to obtain recognition of their qualifications in Australia and become registered to practise dentistry. It is intended as a guide only, and is not legally binding on any of the bodies or agencies listed. The information given is believed to be accurate at the time of printing, however requirements for recognition may vary from time to time.

If you live overseas and are a dentist with a qualification gained outside Australia or a qualification in dentistry gained from an Australian tertiary institution and you intend to migrate and work in this profession in Australia, you should first contact the nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate. Information relating to the general skilled migration program, including requirements for assessment of skills and qualifications, is available in the General Skilled Migration booklet. This can be purchased from the nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate.

If you are already in Australia but need a skills assessment to support an application to change your immigration status, you should seek the advice of the Department of Immigration, Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs (DIMIA) in your State or Territory.

Dentistry in Australia

Australia has a federal system of government and is divided into six States and two Territories. Each Australian State and Territory has separate legislation covering the recognition of dental qualifications. To practise dentistry you have to be registered with the local State or Territory Dental Board. The steps you need to take to obtain registration as a dentist in Australia are explained below.

Dentists work in general practice or specialise in one of the following principal fields: Orthodontics, Periodontics, Paediatric (children's) Dentistry, Prosthodontics, Endodontics and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

Dentists trained in Australia must meet the entry requirements of one of the Australian institutions offering dental courses, and then complete the required full-time academic training (approximately five years) leading to a dental degree. If dentists wish to specialise, they must complete extra study after having had clinical experience.

The Universities of Adelaide, Melbourne, Queensland, Sydney and Western Australia all offer dental degree courses. Griffith University commenced a program in 2004. The qualifications awarded by these schools satisfy the formal academic requirements for registration of all Australian Dental Boards. The addresses of Dental Schools and Dental Boards are listed at the end of this document.

Procedures for Assessment and Recognition of Overseas Qualification

There are three ways in which overseas qualified dentists can enter the profession in Australia: by enrolling at an Australian dental school where they may be granted some credit for previous study, by immediate recognition of their existing qualifications or by successfully completing the Australian Dental Council (ADC) examinations.



Qualifications Immediately Acceptable to Registration Boards

Dentists with a Bachelor degree obtained from the United Kingdom or Ireland may have qualifications which may be acceptable to Dental Registration Boards for immediate registration.

Under the Mutual Recognition Act 1992, subject to certain conditions, if a person is registered to practise an occupation in one State or Territory they can carry out an equivalent occupation in any other State or Territory. Under the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Arrangement (TTMRA) individuals registered or licensed to practise an occupation in New Zealand are entitled to practise the equivalent occupation in any Australian State and Territory and visa versa. The Mutual Recognition Act and the TTMRA apply irrespective of where training was undertaken.

To find out if you can obtain registration under the provisions of the Mutual Recognition Act or the TTMRA you should contact the relevant registration authority in the Australian State or Territory in which you intend to practise.

As the acceptability of any dental qualification may change from time to time, you should seek up-to-date information from the Registration Boards.



Qualifications Not Immediately Acceptable to Registration Boards


If your qualifications do not immediately meet Australian requirements, there are two options. The first is to complete an Australian dental degree course at one of the Australian Universities listed at the end of this document.

The second option is to undertake the examination procedure conducted by the ADC described below.



ADC Examinations

The Australian Dental Council (ADC) is the organisation responsible for assessing overseas trained dentists to enable them to obtain registration in Australia. The ADC also accredits Australian Dental Schools courses leading to registrable qualifications. The dental boards, the dental schools, the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, the Australian Dental Association, the Australian Dental & Oral Health Therapists Association and the Dental Hygienists Association of Australia are represented on the ADC.

Eligibility criteria

Overseas trained dentists are eligible to undertake the ADC examination procedure if they have completed and passed a dental degree which included at least four years' full-time academic study at a university recognised by the ADC and are registered as a dentist in their country of training or practice.

Immune Status

Australian dental institutions are committed to, and have a responsibility to ensure that staff and patients are safeguarded.

Prior to giving an ADC candidate access to clinical facilities for examination purposes, dental hospitals may require a routine assessment of disease history and immune status. This is already in place in some States.

Immunisation, immune response to immunisation, and disease history for tuberculosis, rubella, measles, mumps, chickenpox, herpes simplex virus, and hepatitis B virus may need to be documented.

Some States require that health care workers should be immunised for Hepatitis B and have demonstrated levels of immunity. All operators who will treat patients will be expected to not pose a risk of Hep B transmission to patients or staff. In some States a copy of dates of records of completed Hep B immunisations and of serological screen, to confirm immunity, must be provided prior to an examination. All information provided to the dental hospital remains confidential.

Candidates should ensure that they know their status and advise the ADC if they anticipate that they may not be able to meet the hospitals’ requirements.

Examination Procedures

The ADC examination procedures have been developed specifically to assess the qualifications of overseas trained dentists whose qualifications are not accepted as a basis for registration by Australian Dental Boards.

The examination procedure consists of three parts an Occupational English Test (OET); a Preliminary Examination (Multiple Choice Questions and Short Answer questions); and a Final Examination(Clinical). These must be taken sequentially.

Occupational English Test (OET)

A comprehensive knowledge of English is essential to the practice of dentistry in Australia. The OET is organised by CAE:OET. The OET assesses reading, writing, speaking and listening skills and takes about three and a half hours to complete. From 1 January 2006, all overseas trained dentists (regardless of country of training) will be required to pass the OET examination with an "A" or "B" standard pass in all four sections prior to acceptance into the Australian Dental Council examinations.

No exemptions will be granted.

If you want further information about the OET, you can contact CAE:OET at the following address:
CAE:OET
Level 3, 267 Collins Street
Melbourne 3000
Postal Address: GPO Box 372F, Melbourne 3001
Tel + 61 3 9657 8111
Fax + 61 3 9657 8155
Web-site: http://www.oet.com.au

You must pass this test before you proceed to the Preliminary Examination. "A pass is valid for 2 years. Other English tests are not accepted."

Preliminary Examination

The Preliminary Examination is a written examination in multiple choice and short written answer format. It is designed to test your knowledge of the practice of dentistry and of clinical and technical procedures as they are practised in Australia. Previous examination papers are not available, but sample multiple choice questions are made available to enrolled candidates.

Unlimited attempts are permitted for this examination. A pass is valid for three years.

Final Examination - Clinical


In order to be eligible to sit for the Final Examination you must pass the Preliminary Examination.

The Clinical examination is held over three to six days and includes the following three blocks:

* Conservative Dentistry - Operative Dentistry and Paediatric Dentistry;
* Treatment Planning -including consideration of Periodontics and Removable Prosthodontics;
* Oral Surgery, Oral Diagnosis and Radiology.

Aspects of all clinical disciplines such as Orthodontics, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Pharmacology will be included where appropriate (practical and/or theoretical and/or viva voce). You will be examined at a level no less than that reached by graduates from Australian universities.

Unlimited attempts are permitted for this examination but it must be undertaken within three years of passing the Preliminary Examination.

In the event that applications exceed available places in this examination, a system of priority will be applied:

* first attempt candidates will have priority over repeat attempt candidates;
* the scheduling of first attempt candidates will take into consideration the time since they sat and qualified at the Preliminary Examinations (i.e. shorter time period)
* candidates will be ranked in merit order of their overall score achieved in the Preliminary Examination;
* candidates with fewer repeat attempts will have priority over candidates with a higher number of repeat attempts.

Candidates will be notified of acceptance, the venue and times at least one month before the examination date.

Examination Venues and Training

If you live overseas, you may take the OET and the ADC Preliminary Examination at an overseas venue. Availability of venues varies and some venues may not be available for a particular session. All visa and travel arrangements are the responsibility of the candidate. Candidates should ensure that they are able to travel to the nominated venue. If you are in Australia, you can sit both these examinations in any of the State capital cities and some larger provincial centres.

The Preliminary Examination is usually held in the first week of March and in the first week of September each year. You are allowed unlimited attempts at this examination, but a new fee must be paid for each attempt.

The Final Examination is held only in Australia. Candidates resident outside Australia may be able to obtain a temporary entry visa, at their own expense, to cover the trip to Australia to attend the examination. You are allowed unlimited attempts at this Examination, but a new fee must be paid for each attempt.

ADC Certificate

An ADC Certificate is issued upon successful completion of the ADC examination procedure. The ADC Certificate entitles you to apply for registration with any of the Australian Dental Boards.

How to Apply

To obtain more information, or an application form for assessment of your eligibility to complete the ADC examination process, you should contact the Australian Dental Council, at:
