How Board Ordered remediation works

There are a couple of ways State Dental Boards reach out to CRDTS to discuss remediation for a licensee. 

1. Some Dental Boards get CRDTS involved early in the board order. They share as much information as they can, to allow CRDTS time to work with our Remediation Team to build the custom program. 

2. Some Dental Boards prefer to wait until the board order is completed, signed, and made public before involving CRDTS. 

CRDTS is happy to work with your Dental Board at any stage of the process and appreciates your trust in working with your licensees.

The CRDTS Subject Matter Expert (SME) Team is comprised of some of the most skilled dental and dental hygiene educators in the country. CRDTS works with our SME's from every discipline of dentistry. These educators work with the CRDTS Remediation Team to create custom education using both the board order and a comprehensive pre-assessment. 

Drawing from our 50+ year history in Dental and Dental Hygiene testing, CRDTS has developed a comprehensive pre-assessment to evaluate the licensee's clinical skills. We use the results of the pre-assessment to help guide our remediation learning plan.

The remediation plan consists of both didactic and hands-on coursework. Thanks to our partnerships with SPEAR Education, EBAS Ethics Testing, and CE Zoom, CRDTS has an abundance of resources to create the most comprehensive learning plan. CRDTS has also developed a robust learning library with coursework and testing in the following areas:

Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

Operative Dentistry

Periodontics

Prosthodontics

Endodontics

Orthodontics

Pedodontics

Oral Surgery

Implant Dentistry

Medical Emergencies

Ethics

Our hands-on coursework is custom-designed using the board order and results of the pre-assessment. Sessions are scheduled in CRDTS Topeka Learning/Testing Center. One or more Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are selected to provide opportunities for hands-on learning in our state-of-the-art learning center. Using both the best in Adec dental equipment and virtual haptic technology via the SIMtoCARE Dente. This technology allows licensees to have repetitive practice in areas such as caries removal, prosthodontics, local anesthesia, periodontal charting, and calculus removal. SME's

CRDTS believes that the key to successful remediation is in the follow-through. This is why CRDTS builds in continued didactic education to each remediation. Some cases also require follow-up check-ins with the licensee to ensure that the new skills and knowledge are applied to practice. We work directly with the Dental Board to customize each program, as well as develop a follow-up plan that fits the needs of the licensee. 

The Dental Board is provided a comprehensive report that includes all didactic testing scores along with detailed information on each hands-on session with the licensee. Finally, CRDTS provides a final conclusion and recommendations to the board.
