The Commission on Dental Competency Assessments (CDCA) Patient Treatment Clinical Examination will be given at Community College of Philadelphia. The exam sessions on Monday, Dec. 13, 2021 (Morning Session: 7 - 10:30 a.m. and Mid-Morning Session: 10:30 a.m. - 2 p.m.) is exclusively open to CCP students only; no exceptions will be made. The remaining exam sessions are open to non-CCP students. There is a fee of $275 to take the exam at Community College of Philadelphia, which must be paid at the time of registration below. To register with the College and secure your place for the examination, register and pay online by Nov. 29, 2021

Prior to paying the exam fee with CCP, you must first have a CDCA three digit sequential number listed on your CDCA account and must already know which time slot you have been assigned to by CDCA. That information will be available on your CDCA account under the “Registration” tab at least three weeks prior to the exam date. Community College of Philadelphia will not be responsible for fixing the schedule or for making accommodations for any candidate that pays for the incorrect time slot. It is the candidate's responsibility to read and understand this rule.
