Bridging the Gap Between Classroom Learning and Board Success

The NBDHE is a pivotal step in every dental hygiene student's career, determining their licensure and their readiness to enter the professional world. But let’s be honest—preparing students for this rigorous exam can be overwhelming. Many students struggle to balance their academic coursework, clinical obligations, and board preparation. This is where we come in.

Despite having comprehensive knowledge from their coursework, many students find the transition from the classroom to the NBDHE daunting. The format, depth, and breadth of the board exam can often feel like an insurmountable challenge for even the brightest students. As faculty, you already work hard to integrate key concepts into your curriculum, but with limited time, it can be difficult to dive deep into every subject area the board covers.

Here's what we've found are the key challenges students face:

1. Information Overload: The NBDHE encompasses a broad spectrum of topics that students have learned throughout various stages of their dental hygiene education. Students often feel overwhelmed trying to consolidate everything they've learned into a manageable study plan.
2. Test Anxiety: No matter how prepared students may feel, the pressure of taking a high-stakes exam like the NBDHE can result in test anxiety. This can lead to poor performance despite adequate preparation.
3. Time Management: Between clinic, coursework, and personal obligations, students often struggle to find time for focused, effective board review.
4. Knowledge Gaps: Even with a solid education, students may have knowledge gaps in specific subject areas that they don’t discover until they start preparing for the board.

These obstacles are not only stressful for students but also for faculty who want to see every student succeed.

These tools are designed to cater to various learning styles, ensuring that every student has the resources they need to succeed.

By giving students practical tools to manage their test anxiety and improve their confidence, we set them up for success.
5. Faculty Integration: We recognize that faculty are integral to students' preparation, and we encourage you to integrate our seminar materials into your class time. In fact, faculty members can attend our seminars for free when accompanying their students, allowing you to see firsthand how the content complements your curriculum.
