New clinical dental licensure examination to launch in June

The Dental Licensure Objective Structured Clinical Examination, or DLOSCE, is expected to launch in June, the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations announced April 2. “The DLOSCE arrives for use by dental boards at an opportune time, when its use is greatly needed," said Dr. Cataldo Leone, Joint Commission chair. “The JCNDE has been contacted by dental boards, dental educators and students, all of whom are looking for a valid and reliable pathway to licensure. These calls are coming from across the country.” The DLOSCE is a professionally developed, content-valid examination built specifically for clinical licensure purposes that assesses candidates’ clinical judgment and skills using sophisticated 3D models , without the need to involve patients, Dr. Leone said in a letter to dental boards, the dental education community and dental students.
