Course Description & Objectives:

The Fellowship Review Course is a review of currently accepted knowledge, techniques and practices in general dentistry. Members may virtually attend this course as part of their preparation for the Fellowship Exam; however, taking this course does not guarantee that a member will pass the exam. Information on the content of the Fellowship Exam is held in strictest confidence, and as such, information regarding the overall content of the exam will not be released during the review course or to the course speaker. Candidates may refresh their knowledge of basic clinical information in the 17 areas of general dentistry covered in the exam by attending the review course. Additionally, candidates should be prepared to draw on their own practical experiences as they take the Fellowship Exam.

Objectives
At the end of the two-day review course, attendees will have
• Reviewed the 17 areas of general dentistry
• Been provided the opportunity to discuss and explore questions pertinent to the areas reviewed
• Engaged other attendees to discuss the 17 areas of dentistry
• Been provided information about the Fellowship Exam

About the Fellowship Exam:

  1.  The exam may be taken at any time during Pre-Fellowship, including New Graduates (once 90 days have passed after graduation from dental school) and either before, after or while working towards completion of the required 500 CE hours.
  2. The Fellowship Exam consists of approximately 250 multiple-choice questions and is administered in a one day, four-hour testing session. The exam includes material from all dental disciplines and strongly emphasizes clinical applications of accepted dental knowledge, techniques, and procedures.
  3. To register for the Exam, you must do so by completing an application and sending it along with the $600 fee to National Headquarters to sit for the exam.
