    An Australian dental examination was established in 1979 to assess overseas-trained dentists. This written and clinical assessment is recognized by most Australian dental boards, with plans for future clinical exams in state capitals.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental education and assessment
    • Professional qualification standards
    • International dental practitioner evaluation

    Background:

    • Established in 1979, the Expert Panel in Dentistry of the Committee on Overseas Professional Qualifications (COPQ) developed a key assessment for foreign-trained dentists.
    • Six of eight Australian dental boards accept the examination, highlighting its significance in professional registration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and detail the structure of a standardized written and clinical examination.
    • To outline the assessment's role in evaluating the competency of dentists trained internationally.
    • To inform about the future administration of the clinical component in various Australian State capitals.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a comprehensive written examination.

    • Main Results:

    • The examination was introduced in 1979 and is recognized by a majority of Australian dental boards.
    • The assessment is specifically designed for overseas-trained dentists seeking registration.
    • Future plans include conducting the clinical examination in multiple state capitals.

    Conclusions:

    • The COPQ's examination provides a vital pathway for the professional integration of international dental graduates.
    • The assessment ensures a consistent standard of dental practice across Australia.
    • The planned expansion of clinical examination sites aims to improve accessibility for candidates.
