Practice for the NDBE, Emergency Medicine with ExamMaster.
ExamMaster has just released their preliminary product for dentistry. This initial product is “Basic Sciences for Dental Part I”. It uses the NDBE Part I content blueprint as the product foundation. Over the coming months look for more clinical oriented questions to the product, as well as a review product for the NDBE Part II examination. In the meantime, the 1800 questions contained in this product will be a very useful study aid for the beginning to intermediate dental students.
