Evaluation forms will be used to record the candidates’ performance. Candidates will be provided with an electronic copy of their evaluation results for each skill. Evaluation forms are divided into two sections – “Procedure” and “Professional Practice” Within each section, there are several criteria that candidates will be evaluated against Candidates will be awarded either an “A” (acceptable) or “U” (unacceptable) for each criterion Some criteria are “critical” – and others are not. A “critical” criterion is fundamental to performing the skill adequately and safely. To successfully pass a skill, candidates must be awarded an “A” grade for every critical criterion. One “U” on a critical criterion will result in failure of the entire skill. In both sections, the critical criteria for each skill are indicated by a black “dot” between the A and U columns. Candidates must pass all critical criteria to pass the skill. This “snap shot” will need to be replaced with the 2025 version of dental dam as the criteria has changed.
