OBJECTIVE STRUCTURED CLINICAL EXAMINATION (OSCE)
2013
I CONTENT AND FORMAT
The OSCE is a
station type examination comprised of a morning session and an afternoon
session on the same
day.
The majority of the
stations will have 2 questions and will require the candidate to review the
information
supplied (e.g. case history, dental charts, photographs, radiographs, casts,
models)
and answer extended
match type questions. Each extended match type question will have up to
15 answer options
and one or more correct answers. All answers for these questions must be
recorded on the
answer score sheet provided.
A few stations may
require the candidate to review the information supplied and write an
acceptable
prescription for a medication commonly prescribed by general dentists in
Canada.
Any required
prescription must be legibly written on the supplied form and submitted as
directed. The
candidate’s NDEB Identification Number must be correctly recorded on the
prescription form.
Candidates will
have 5 minutes at each station to answer the questions. After 5 minutes the
candidate will move
to the next station. The Question and Answer Framework for the
examination is
available at http://www.ndeb.ca/accredited/osce-examination

VALIDATION OF REGISTRATION
During the
validation of registration candidates will be issued an Identification (ID)
card. To
receive the ID
card, candidates will be required to show current government photo
identification,
(i.e. a current
passport or driver’s licence), for comparison to the ID card. Candidates who do
not provide
government photo identification will not be admitted.
Candidates must
have the ID card visible at all times and must return the card to the Test
Administrator at
the end of each session of the examination. The back of the ID card may be
used for
calculation or rough notes. Candidates must take the ID card with them from
station to
station during the
examination and submit it at the end of each session. Removing any paper
with copied test
items or notes from the examination location is prohibited and will be
considered as
compromising the integrity of the examination. The consequences of such actions
are delineated in
NDEB By-law 20.01. The NDEB will verify that all ID cards are returned.
Candidates who fail
to return the ID card may receive a zero (“0”) score for the examination.
