Virtually the highest quality exam preparation
The DANB GC Review Part II online interactive course picks-up where the DANB GC Review Part I left off. It begins with an overview of the concepts covered in GC Review Part I, then continues with the specific principles and specialized techniques often applied in assisting with endodontic, oral surgery and prosthodontic procedures such as placing crowns and bridges. You will have an opportunity to practice assisting with these procedures in virtual patient scenarios and review the responsibilities of your role as it applies to patient care. As with other courses from the DALE Foundation, you may take printable notes along the way.
GC Review Part II is broken down into four course modules. You may take one module at a time or all four back-to-back — how you complete the course within your six-month access period is totally up to you. Before, during and after the course, you will complete learner assessments, so you can continually check your progress. You may also go back and review any part of the course at any time and retake your post-course assessment* so that you are better prepared to take the DANB GC exam.
*Questions are not from actual DANB exams, and completing the review course does not guarantee that you will pass the DANB GC exam.
