New Diploma Level Examiners
The College seeks to appoint new examiners for the launch of several new Diploma level examinations in 2024.
The examinations will complement the existing Diploma in Special Care Dentistry and Diploma in Implant Dentistry. They are intended to be a summative assessment of applied clinical knowledge, clinical reasoning, and problem-solving skills at a sub-specialist level (equivalent to Tier 2 complexity as described in the NHS England document ‘Guides for Commissioning Dental Specialties’). The examinations will be accessible to all registered dentists, with no restrictive eligibility requirements. The examinations will consist of single best answers and clinical scenario papers and examiners will be expected to contribute to the question banks.
