This course prepares students for exit examinations and the Dental Hygiene National Board Examination (NBDHE) through comprehensive case-based learning, treatment planning, and clinical decision-making activities. Students integrate biomedical sciences, clinical dental hygiene, and community health concepts to assess patient findings, formulate dental hygiene diagnoses, and implement evidence-based care strategies for diverse populations. Emphasis is placed on simulated board examinations, critical analysis of patient cases, and the development of effective study, time management, and test-taking strategies to support successful transition to professional practice.
