CDCA for OMFS

[oralsurgeryguy]

If you match but fail CDCA prior to starting residency do programs offer an opportunity to take it again while in residency or are you SOL?

Depends on the program probably

At Case, you need a full state license which would not be possible without passing the regional exam (CDCA, WREB, etc). I’m not sure if that’s typical for other programs.

usually you can take the CDCA again relatively quickly after failing. I had many friends who failed but were able to take it again prior to starting residency.
