Thank you, 2021 Examination Committee!
ABPD would like to recognize and give thanks to the 2021 Examination Committee for their time, support, and dedication to the field of pediatric dentistry!
The Examination Committee (EC) was formed to ensure that our examinations test the in-depth knowledge of the specialty of dentistry and continuously validates their knowledge, skills, and experience for delivering quality patient outcomes. Each group is dedicated to the annual development and advancement of the certification and/or maintenance process.
The Examination Committee is comprised of three (3) subcommittees:
- Qualifying Examination Subcommittee (QES)
- Oral Clinical Examination Subcommittee (OCES)
- Renewal of Certification Process Subcommittee (ROCPS)
ABPD would like to recognize and give thanks to the 2021 Examination Committee for their time, support, and dedication to the field of pediatric dentistry! We appreciate their willingness to be flexible and pilot some new methods of collaboration, paving the way for future committees.
