For the second year in a row, the Virginia Western Community College Dental Hygiene Program has a 100% pass rate on the CDCA\/ADEX clinical board exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The examination for the Commission on Dental Competency Assessments (CDCA)\/American Board of Dental Examiners (ADEX) evaluates students’ clinical skills and their knowledge and ability to provide safe and effective patient care. Students must pass this clinical exam and a comprehensive national written exam to obtain licensure to practice as a Registered Dental Hygienist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia Western Community College offers an Associate of Applied Science degree in dental hygiene, and biennially admits students from Danville Community College<\/a> and Laurel Ridge Community College<\/a>. Students are admitted to the distance sites biennially. All students enroll in the same classes and have the same clinical experiences, just at a different physical location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All dental hygiene students at the Virginia Western and Laurel Ridge campuses passed their CDCA\/ADEX clinical board exam on the first attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
