The Canadian Denturist Multijurisdictional Registration Examination (CDMRE) is a regulatory building block. Currently officially endorsed by five provinces and the territories, successful completion of this exam is a requirement for registration as a denturist in most Canadian provinces.
A solid and legally defensible registration examination has many processes and requirements and is best overseen by a psychometrician. For this purpose, the Colleges have contracted the services of a third-party psychometric firm, with considerable experience in the field of denturism. The psychometric services rendered lead to the policy and processes use to develop the examination questions; exam construction; setting the minimum pass score for the examination’s components; determining when a candidate has aptly demonstrated within the examination process if they are successful or unsuccessful; and ongoing quality assurance with the examination questions and content. In addition to psychometric services required, an OSCE creates a layer of complexity that requires expertise and resources not common to a College.
