Course Title: Mock Exam
topDates: Saturday and Sunday January 22-23 2011
Instructors: Dr. Ira Luskin Dipl. AVDC/EVDC, Dr. Keith Stein Dipl. AVDC
Credits Earned: none
The Mock is not just taking an exam. It is about sharing what works in practice! It allows you trial runs in organization of materials and equipment and putting it all together to be prepared for a 13 hour examination. Not only is it a sharing amongst fellow attendees but also from the teachers. The Animal Dental Training Center allows this to happen because of the intensiveness of the two days and the camaraderie that develops. There are no two Mocks that are the same. Different procedures are requested each year and therefore there is a progression of learning since more than half the time is spent in group critiquing. Since the specimens are anonymously critiqued only the candidates themselves know whose specimen is being looked at.
