Abstract:
:A written survey on issues in clinical testing for licensure was sent to the deans of all dental schools in the United States. Response rate was 89 percent. Results indicate that administrative leaders of the country's dental schools think that third-party evaluation of graduates is appropriate, but they do not have confidence in current clinical tests for licensure. More than nine out of ten respondents indicated that change was needed in current testing procedures, and 82 percent thought the tests as currently conducted were not valid for decision purposes. Regional differences existed among the responses, with the least dissatisfaction occurring in the West. The highest-rated and most frequently mentioned reasons for dissatisfaction with clinical tests were the involvement of patients (human subjects) as currently done. Most respondents favored a national level for licensure tests, although the majority also approved of the recently enacted New York law that permits completion of a postgraduate year in an accredited program to substitute for clinical testing. Respondents indicated a belief that a national database on academic measures as compared to outcomes on clinical licensure tests would be useful, with overall grade point average or class rank as the favored academic measure. Informed by the recommendations of its representatives to the AADE-ADEA Innovative Testing and Educational Methodologies Committee and results of the survey of deans, ADEA is pursuing steps to foster change in the clinical licensure process.
