Change requires collaboration and engagement from all areas of the organization. Throughout the past year, we have worked with the management team, Chief Examiners, and committee members to look critically at existing policies and processes with the aim of understanding the history, governance, and best practices to determine what changes needed to be made moving forward. This exercise led to significant process and by-law changes which will allow for greater efficiency and will help to ensure the right people are involved in the processes.  \nThe commitment and ingenuity of the electronic examination implementation team over the last three years was evident when, in September 2018, the NDEB delivered its first examination electronically. A small cohort of individuals participated in the Dental Specialty Core Knowledge Examination (DSCKE) at Prometric Test Centres across Canada. The administration was a success and has paved the way for the delivery of the Assessment of Clinical Judgement electronically in May 2019. Moving to electronic delivery will allow the NDEB to efficiently deliver its examinations and assessments with added security while removing some barriers for examinees by making the examinations more accessible.  \nThe Equivalency Process continues to present both opportunities and challenges. In the coming years, we will undertake a review of the Equivalency Process blueprint which gives us the opportunity to collaborate with our stakeholders and investigate alternative testing methods. Conversely, the rising number of applications to the process have put pressure on our existing operations as staff works to complete the in-depth credential verification process in the established timeframe. The Equivalency Process continues to present budgetary and legal challenges that the Board and staff have diligently handled. We are fortunate that we continue to be successful in defending our process; however, the ongoing legal challenges related to the Assessment of Clinical Skills have resulted in a need for increased operational support.  \nAfter a year of consultation and development, a new five-year strategic plan was adopted by the Board. The new plan identifies four key result areas for the organization. Staff is actively working on a roadmap for implementation of the plan which will be elaborated on later in the report.  \nWe would like to recognize and thank everyone who has worked with the NDEB over the past year; from those who wrote questions for and developed examinations, administered and graded the clinical assessment, and of course the staff who manage the day to day operations of the NDEB. Your contributions to the mission of the Board are invaluable and we appreciate the time you have dedicated to supporting the NDEB’s mandate.  \nWe would also like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Doug Mackey for his service as President over the last two years and look forward to his continued support. And finally, we would like to extend our gratitude to Dr. Mary Ann Wiseman for her many years of dedication to the Board as she completes her term as the representative from New Brunswick. We hope to have opportunities to work together in the future.  \nDr. Dennis Fuchs President  \nDr. Marie Dagenais  \nExecu􀀕ve Director and Registrar  \nNDEB | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 | 3  \nY E A R I N R E V I E W   \nPAPER EXAMINATIONS  \nADMINISTERED  \nACS TYPODONTS  \nEVALUATED  \n20% INCREASE IN APPLICATIONS TO THE EQUIVALENCY PROCESS  \n31% MORE  \nCOMPASSIONATE APPEAL","cbCaioKGTF5jvxwD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioKGTF5jvxwD","pdf",1280320,"English","# Letter from the President and Director\n# Year in Review\n## Going Digital\n# Vision 2024\n# Governance\n# Certification\n# Examinations and Assessments\n# Financials\n# Letter from the President and Executive Director","[{\"question\":\"What major operational changes were introduced during the past year?\",\"answer\":\"The report states that critical review work led to significant process and by-law changes aimed at greater efficiency and clearer involvement of the right people in the processes.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the NDEB advance electronic delivery of examinations?\",\"answer\":\"It delivered its first electronic examination electronically in September 2018, using pilot testing beforehand, and then prepared for electronic delivery of the Assessment of Clinical Judgement in May 2019 with updated databases, registration, and communication plans.\"},{\"question\":\"What challenges does the Equivalency Process face?\",\"answer\":\"The report notes both opportunities and challenges, including rising application volumes that pressure existing operations, alongside budgetary and legal challenges that require increased operational support.\"}]","NDEB Annual Report 2018 | PDF",1789931592,48]
