What is the Assessment of Clinical Skills?

The Assessment of Clinical Skills (ACS) exam is the second or third phase of the Equivalency Process that graduates from non-accredited dental programs must pass in order to be eligible for Canadian dental licensure and certification. The exam, held over 2 days, tests the practical skills of aspiring dentists by requiring them to complete 12 specific projects in a simulated dental clinic environment. All tests are conducted on mannequins under specific infection control rules that apply throughout the exam.

Aside from clinical skills, the ACS exam also evaluates aspiring dentists’ skills in material hygiene, infection control, and record-keeping.

There’s so much riding on passing the ACS! Students are required to possess – or develop – certain skills to pass the exam. ConfiDentist’s teaching approach for the ACS has been thoroughly developed over many years to help students learn these skills, as well as the proper techniques and concepts in order to receive a high score on all projects.

Our experienced instructors are dedicated to helping students understand the required concepts and be 100% prepared to meet and exceed the rigors of the exam. Additionally, since this exam is largely skills-based, students will get plenty of opportunities to develop relevant clinical skills and be confident in using them during the actual exam.
