Orthodontic Module Theory Component (Dec 04 - 08. 2023)

Orthodontic Module Theory Component is organized by University of Alberta and will be held from Dec 04 - 08, 2023.

The Orthodontic Course is comprised of two components: A self-study online Theory Module, and a hands-on Clinical Module.  

Participants must successfully complete the Theory component and the written Theory Examination prior to registering and attending the in-person Clinical component

Description:
The Orthodontic Theory Module is a guided, home-study Course. We suggest a three months self-study before writing the Theory Examination.? 
The Theory Exam is offered monthly at the University of Alberta, and the date is chosen at the registration. The exam runs usually in the morning, and the time and date will be confirmed by email at least two weeks before the exam date.? 
Participants residing in or outside of Edmonton may also choose to write the Theory Exam at a recognized Testing Center on a date and time that is more convenient for them (Testing Center fees will apply, and are payable by the participant to the Test Center). If participants choose to write in a test center, they must communicate with CDE at least two weeks before the exam date.
