Graduates of eligible non-accredited dental specialty programs who are interested in becoming licensed specialists in Canada may apply to take the Dental Specialty Core Knowledge Examination (DSCKE). The DSCKE will be used by Canadian Faculties of dentistry as part of the admission process for entry into Dental Specialty Assessment and Training Programs (DSATPs). Please note that there is very limited space available in the DSATPs. A candidate has the privilege of retaking the Dental Specialty Core Knowledge Examination once.

Self-evaluation checklists for each specialty have been developed as a guide to assist potential applicants in evaluating whether or not their specialty training meets basic criteria for admission. For more detailed information about the curriculum content, competencies, objectives and outcomes, evaluation methodology and teaching methods, amongst many other requirements, of accredited Canadian specialty programs consult the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada’s website:
