Dentists invited to become examiners for new assessments

The newly-appointed exam board chairs for the Dental Specialty Fellowship Examinations and revised MFDS are calling for experienced clinicians to join them to support the next generation of assessment.

Dentists invited to become examiners for new assessments

Ten leading dentists were appointed as exam board chairs in March. They are now inviting other experienced clinicians to become members of the examiner team for specialty exams, and board members for MFDS.

The news follows an agreement between four Royal Colleges in the UK and Ireland to work together on a new, joined-up approach to assessment covering 10 dental specialties. The new examinations, which will be introduced in Autumn 2026, will support trainees in demonstrating the specialist knowledge, skills and capabilities required for progression.
