2021 Oral Clinical Examination Applications Now Open

The American Board of Pediatric Dentistry (ABPD) is pleased to announce that the 2021 Oral Clinical Examination (OCE) is scheduled for October 4-9, in Raleigh, North Carolina. 

Due to the examination cancellation last year, we are offering two registration windows. The first registration is designated for Candidates that were scheduled to take the 2020 OCE. The second window will be open to all eligible candidates. To accommodate the additional candidates that will be examined, we have extended the number of days for the examination. Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis, and we will not be able to hold examination seats.

Below is the application schedule for the 2021 OCE:
