CLINICAL EXAMINATIONS
At the request of the member country, following their consultation with government, the IFD will coordinate a Clinical Examination in that country. The examination follows the Baseline Curriculum of the IFD. This is not a licensing examination; however, it is an indication of the competency of the candidates in their own jurisdiction. The clinical examination and assessment have been developed by Professor Michael Vakalis and Carlo Zanon DD of the International Denturist Education Centre, Canada. All expenses for the examination are paid by the candidates, including:

· Travel, accommodation and per diem for Examining Committee (3 persons plus 1 IFD observer)
· Laboratory equipment and fees
· Administration fees and certificates
