Jae Hyun Park, DMD, MSD, MS, PhD, chair of the postgraduate orthodontic program at A.T. Still University’s Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health (ATSU-ASDOH) recently served as a National Board Dental Examination (NBDE) Part II Ortho-Pediatric Dentistry/Advanced Dental Admission Test Construction Committee member.
Linda Himmelberger, DMD, American Dental Association trustee and liaison to the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations (JCNDE), participated in the meeting as a special guest.
In 2009, the JCNDE created a new Integrated National Board Dental Examination (INBDE) that would integrate the basic, behavioral, and clinical sciences to assess entry-level competency in dentistry. INBDE is intended to assist state boards of dentistry in evaluating candidates for dental licensure and will eventually replace the current NBDE Parts I and II. INBDE is scheduled to begin in 2020.
