The NDAEB is guided by the Public Health Agency of Canada, and local public health authorities in the communities in which we conduct examinations. The NDAEB is located in Ottawa, Ontario and subject to the laws of Ontario and Canada. Please read the April NDAEB COVID-19 Update for an update relating to the NDAEB, the Written Exam, Clinical Practice Evaluations (CPE) and International Candidates.
The National Dental Assisting Examining Board and the Canadian Dental Assistants Association, in partnership with the Canadian Dental Assisting Regulatory Authorities are pleased to announce the completion of the National Occupational Analysis (NOA) for the profession of Canadian Dental Assisting 2019/2020.
The NOA for dental assisting in Canada is completed approximately every five years and is used primarily to assist in the development and confirmation of the Occupational Standard and to update Domain Descriptions and inform NDAEB exam revisions.
The NOA provides a timely profile of emerging trends in the dental assisting profession and serves an important role in informing education, curriculum development, accreditation of education programs, recruitment, performance improvement, career development, and the examination and credentialing of practitioners. It also represents an important resource for provincial regulators and can inform government regulation and policy development. The full report is available here.
