Board Review

Catalog description

The Board Review course is structured to provide students with necessary information regarding the form and content of Dental Hygiene Board examinations and to provide guided study before taking the exams. The course will help students review the theory, skills, and judgments required on dental hygiene board examinations. The course includes reviews of the most recently released NBDHE exams, proctored diagnostic and readiness (HESI Exit) testing, and on-going assessment using electronic resources and the Evolve Simulated Board Exams. The Diagnostic and HESI Exit exams identify each student’s strengths and opportunities for improvement in the NBDHE disciplines (scientific basis, clinical provisions, community health/research, and case-studies) before taking the licensure exam. Ultimately, the board review process will help prepare dental hygienists for entry into professional dental hygiene roles as clinicians, educators, advocates, researchers, and administrators/managers. Most course content is delivered online with some exceptions. (Prerequisites: Principles of Dental Hygiene II Lecture and Clinic) (Fall, Summer)
