Hi..

I have searched through the ADA website and cannot find anything to do with the NEW NDBE1 format - that is: the changes that have been proposed. Could anyone please be kind enough to copy this website and paste it here for me. The web address should be sufficient.

Thankyou...🙂
 
The comprehensive Part I Examination consists of 400 examination items. For each discipline, approximately 80% of the items are discipline-based and approximately 20% are interdisciplinary testlet-based items. A testlet consists of the patient scenario and a set of items from the various disciplines that are associated with the scenario. One item from each of the disciplines listed below will be designated for the testlets under the topic, Professional Ethics/Patient Management. These items will require a basic understanding of professional ethical principles in patient management.
