The Dental Specialty Assessment and Training Program (DSATP) is open to applicants non-accredited dental programs and want to practice in Canada. The DSATP, commonly known as GAP training, assesses candidates’ didactic and clinical knowledge, skill and judgement in their specialty area and identifies area(s) that require additional training. For a prospective applicant to be admitted to the DSATP the required training to address knowledge and/or skill deficiencies must be completed in less than 12 months. Upon successful completion of the DSATP, the Faculty of Dentistry will provide a certificate of completion to the student. Upon request the Faculty of Dentistry will provide a letter to the Royal College of Dentists of Canada confirming the student’s eligibility to write the National Dental Specialty Examination (NDSE) administered by the National Dental Examining Board of Canada.
