Dentist Theoretical EXAM for December 2009

The results for the Theoretical Phase of the National Dentist Licensure Examinations for December 2009 which was held last week  has now been released by the Board of Dentistry last Monday, December 7. We are now awaiting for the final and official list of examinees who were able to hurdle the written exams given by the PRC Board of Dentistry. This new exam format was based on the Board Resolution released by the PRC in 2007 which resulted in a major change from the original system (that used to allow examinees to take both theoretical and practical phases of the exam before results can be released) to the new system (that now requires all examinees to first pass the theoretical phase before they can be allowed to take the practical phase of the exam). The list of successful examinees is now posted and can now be viewed at the PRC Main Office.

December 2009 DENTIST LICENSURE EXAMINATION results released in 2 working days (THEORETICAL PHASE) December 07, 2009
The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) announces that 227 out of 574 passed the theoretical phase of the Dentist Licensure Examination given by the Board of Dentistry in Manila this December 2009.
The Board of Dentistry implemented the Board Resolution No. 7 series of 2006, to wit:
To henceforth require the examinees in the dental licensure examination to first pass its theoretical/written phase before they are allowed to take its practical/performance phase; provided that pursuant to Board Resolution No. 277, series of 1989, and at the time of the adoption of this Resolution, examinees who have passed the theoretical phase shall be allowed to take only the practical phase, and examinees who passed the practical phase shall still be allowed to take the theoretical phase only up to 2009”.
Examination results for removal examinees will be released after the December 2009 practical examination.

Why Join The MyDentSpace Community and Forum?
 
The MyDentSpace community is a special feature of Pinoydental that allows members to build their own network of connections similar (but simpler) to the very popular sites such as Facebook, Friendster, My Space or Multiply.  Membership in this community is open to the general public and is not exclusive to dentists or dental professionals.

They are also provided access to the Pinoydental Forum or discussion board and the Classified ads section.
 
The goal of Pinoydental My DentSpace is to create a network portal where Dental professionals, students and even patients can interact with one another . This section contains special options such as:
  1. Providing interconnectivity and linking between individual MyDentSpace Member Webpages.

    • Being able to let members create subgroups for their community connections and sort them according to friends, colleagues, patients, family, classmates, schoolmates, clients, etc…


    1. A quick messaging service which is an email-like communications system between members. Complete with a personal inbox, outbox, draft section, etc…
    2. Each user may be allowed to post “BLOGS” or opinions and informal articles (dental-related or otherwise) in the forum section as well as in their individual MyDentSpace WebPages.


      • These BLOGS may be read by other members or even the public if the writer chooses so.
      • BLOGS may be a very useful tool in disseminating useful information about dentistry, dental health or anything relevant to the dental profession.
      • Such a medium may provide an avenue for exchange of ideas and opinions that can also serve as a continuing education tool or a forum for study groups for any of the disciplines in Dentistry and Health.
      • BLOGS may also be used to introduce the latest dental care products, materials and equipment for consumer review and and also for advertising purposes.
      • The author may open these BLOGS to allow comments in order to encourage healthy discussions about the topics or presentations posted.mydentspace2


      1. A member may also post weblinks, news, journal abstracts and articles or any information resource that he/she may find relevant to dental health and to the profession.

      3. Dentists may be able to entertain inquiries from patient members (here and abroad). This system may therefore provide support for the concept and practice of “Dental Tourism” or “Borderless Practice of Dentistry” for dentist members of MyDentSpace.
