Moreover, the test is designed to  “rule out” personality traits such as narcissism, which has been recognised as a common cause of rogue (dishonest and unprincipled) medical practitioners.  Applicants are also encouraged to have discussions with dentists, dental specialists, dental academics; observing a dental practitioner in a variety of practice settings; hands-on experience e.g. dental assistant work.

On Monday, 12th of  February 2018, successful applicants will be notified via email if they have received an offer to sit the Psychometric Test. The fee for this test which will have to be paid by the student is $140.
