What is ADAT? and Why it's Important.
The Advanced Dental Admission Test (ADAT) is an important exam for dental professionals. It helps them get into dental programs in the U.S. and Canada.
​
The ADAT test is becoming a standard requirement for foreign-trained dentists in Canada. They need it to apply to University Placement Programs for Internationally trained dentists.
The ADAT test structure includes:
-
200 multiple-choice questions, divided into:
-
80 Biomedical Sciences
-
80 Clinical Sciences
-
40 Data Research Interpretation and Evidence-Based Dentistry
Scholars Dental ADAT Courses
Preparing for the ADAT exam is a crucial step in advancing your dental career. Canadian dental schools are changing from the Assessment of Fundamental Knowledge (AFK) to the ADAT scores for admission into their dental program for internationally trained dentists. You should prepare for this change. At Scholars Dental, we are committed to helping you succeed.
​
We offer a complete ADAT preparation course for international dentists. Whether you are thinking about a university path or want to keep both options open, we can help. We have each course for your specific needs.
