i am sorry i don't know about other states but florida state has a separate florida dental licensure exam. which comprise of bench exam like ours in addition to law exam n few more stuff...and there are few classes which prepares candidates for this exam giving them place ,instruments, & teachin them the preps.... so my intention was that if there are sufficient no. of candidates of FTD in florida who would be interested in doing a course similar to one which duggan has in california these institutes can conduct a course for FTD.here in florida...... provided they have sufficient candidates for it...but i guess not any people want to do that course ......sorry can't be more informative for other states....

Hey thanx for the info.........I guess its not possible...however what's the course or institute name in florida????is there a website??i can find out if they have anuthing in my state....thanx again.....

 

[drnishpatel]

ok the class name is florida dental board preps..... basically the course offers training to dentist who r about to take florida licensure exam......conducted twice a year either in gainsville or fort launderdale..... baically if there are around 15 -20 FTDs interested, the guy can organize such a class for FTD who r out of touch of handpiece & want to practice cutting teeth.....
as for most of us procuring a compressor n handpiece to practice at home is not a convenient option ......so a course like this could give us a platform to get trained and practice our preps......
FOR PEOPLE who r out of state, u can certainly come down for the course, which if conducted would be 4-5 days duration n do ur practice........ no dates or pricing have been finalised this thread was put up to gather people who would be interested in joining such a course which if conducted in north florida region....... basic intention is to gather people n organise the event.....
so if ur interested put down a reply here stating ur current location.

well i am suprised as a lot of florida resident will be applying to gainsville college this year but no one wants to do handfull of practice ahead!!!!!!

if any one has any further query on course u can write to me at [email protected]

Hai guys,

Got little information to share,I talked to somebody who is conducting this course in fortlauderdale from nov 8th onwards.It will be almost done by 15thnov.so interested people can join the course. I did ask them about conducting one in gainesville (north florida)but they are not having any plans to do so.This was confirmed today.
This training is for the florida licence exams,which they conduct every year in fort lauderdale.But they do have room for people like us too.so i'll post the info about cost and otherthings once I get the application which is on its way.
But I think if the exam is not until 15th nov by any of the cali schools this 5-6days of teaching and practice will be helpful.

Hai everybody
sorry all,i'm still trying to get information about the cost of this course.
I did get an application for the miami course at fortlauderdale.
but the cost was mentioned for the florida licence exAms.,it says this

miami course with patients-4350 dollars
just miami course-2150 dollars.
when I enquired them about the cost for students like us.I was asked about the preparations needed for our training.
somebody please can, put your input on this and let us all gather the preps neede for us and send them the list,that would help them take a decision about the cost for training us.
so all please work on this and get to know about the preps needed for all cali schools and others with technical exams.

Hi Doc,
We will surely work on this ... we will give them a list of all the prepartions which we would like to be taught and then ask them how much they will charge... 4-5 days course should be sufficient I presume...

 

[drnishpatel]

HI,
first of all i thank every one for their interest in the course. i receive a lot of messages regarding cost for the course and time line . one thing i would say here is that cost is yet not finalised 🙁 and it all depends on what all preparations we want to learn!!!!!!!
i would like every one here to post their views on what preparations should we learn which will help in california bench exam at the colleges.
i kindly request every one here to find out differnt preparations required in different colleges needed for FTD during their bench exam and post their replies in the thread. a cost then can be finalised based on that.
any input by senior SDNers is extermely valuable to make this course happen.

good luck 🙂 ,

Hi Doc,
I think some of the preparations which may be asked are -
Cl.II , Cl.III and Cl.IV composite -tooth prep + restoration
Cl.II - MO / DO / MOD Silver Amalgam - tooth prep + restoration
PFM - anterior / posterior tooth
Inlay & Onlay - tooth prep
Endo - RCT - access cavity opening
If others can add on to this list, it will be great...Lets try to make a comprehensive list soon and finalize things so that we dont need to wait till the last moment....

Hi Doc,
We dont have time until November to do this short training course for practicals... I mailed to UoP and I got a reply from them that the practical exam is going to be in the last week of October... so we have to act quick if we have to plan a course and see to it that it gets materialized...

Hey, guys, I want to know if there is some difference between this course in Florida and the Duggan's course? Because the Duggan's course can start another block schedule if we are about 6. And it's a little more days 10-11days, and the Duggan's course is more well-knowed or not? Correct me if I'm wrong .
Keep in touch..

 

[dr_priya]

The pivotal difference is that which one will actually start up a batch and that too earlier than the other.........

Florida Dental Board Preps (FDBP) the Gordy course is pleased to announce that we will offer a 4-day hands on preparation program for the manikin challenge examination. This course will offer an opportunity for each candidate to cut preparations, insert amalgam and composite restorations in a simulated laboratory session. We will use bench mounted simulators OR direct bench placement depending on the requirements of the particular school


Background: The course is presented by Dr.Gordy, Gultz, and Kaim. Over the last 25 years all three have presented preparation courses for Florida Boards both bench and clinical, California Boards both bench and clinical, Western Regional Boards, NERB, Southern Regional Boards, New York State Bench Test and other individual states. They have collectively 50 years of experience at a major Dental School.

We know what the criteria are and we know what will pass.


Program: The schedule for the course is outlined below.

Should the class not require a particular lecture we will eliminate it or give it individually as needed. When you sign up you will let us know the specific procedures you will need to learn and practice. Elective instructional time and open non instructional time should be used by each of you to practice those areas that you are weak and areas that may be unique to the exam you are taking such as ¾ crown, onlays etc.

Location: The course will be presented at our Ft. Lauderdale, Davie Dental office at 4971 South State Road 7 Davie, Florida.


Fees:

4-day (46 hour) intensive course $1050

Complete instrument package (optional) $300
