The Federation of Dental Hygiene Regulators of Canada (FDHRC) is recruiting Dental Hygiene subject matter experts (SMEs) to develop examination items for the National Dental Hygiene Certification Exam (NDHCE).

Ideal item-writing candidates should have current knowledge of Canadian dental hygiene curriculum, various clinical settings, community health, and/or administrative settings.

Selected item writers will attend an in-person training session to learn how to develop high-quality multiple-choice items using secure online item-writing software.

The workshop will take place April 26-28, 2023 in the Ottawa area, and will be facilitated by FDHRC staff and a representative from the FDHRC’s Testing Agency. Travel expenses and an honorarium will be provided for participation. An honorarium will also be provided for item development work that follows item-writing training.

The deadline to apply is February 10, 2023.
