WREB report to the New Mexico Dental Hygiene Committee Meeting and Board of Dental Health Care
April 20, 2012
By
Rebecca Howard, RDH
The WREB 2012 Dental Hygiene exam season appears to have gotten off to a good start. At least I have not heard otherwise.
Dental Hygiene examiner standardization continues to be conducted on line. Examiners are required to complete the standardization exercises before each assigned exam.
The WREB Newsletter is now delivered electronically as WREB continues to find ways to be more efficient and utilize technology to the fullest.
The Dental Hygiene Department has added another Dental Hygiene Coordinator to their staff. The department will be administering Local Anesthesia, Dental Hygiene and Restorative examinations at 36 sites during 2012.
Illinois has joined WREB. WREB now consists of sixteen member states and one affiliate member. 18 additional states accept WREB results, but are not members.
WREB’s testing specialist, Sharon Osborn Popp, is spending time getting familiar with exam data that comes in both electronic and paper format. Gathering this data can be tedious, as it exists in different files, e.g., examiner details in one file, candidate results in another and the data that matches them to each other is in a third. Dr. Popp started with WREB last July and is working on understanding, managing, verifying, and analyzing data, which ensures assessments are valid, reliable, and fair. This helps maintain WREB’s status as a premier “National Dental and Dental Hygiene Testing Agency.”
Dr. Gerald Woodworth has been unanimously selected by the Board of Directors to receive the David Low Service Award. This award is WREB’s highest commendation and recognizes the invaluable contributions that an outstanding dentist or dental hygienist renders to the examining community. The must demonstrate the highest level of commitment, dedication and innovation. In addition, they must possess a genuine compassion for candidates, patients, fellow examiners and staff. In the spirit of the award’s namesake, they must also conduct themselves with the utmost professionalism; possess an open mind and an innate sense of humor.
The Board of Directors recently approved a capital budget expenditure to move forward with the conversion of Restorative and Anesthesia examinations to electronic scoring. These are the final exams to be implemented into the electronic scoring system.

The WREB 2012 Dental Hygiene exam season is proceeding smoothly.
Dental Hygiene examiner standardization continues to be conducted on line. Examiners are required to view and complete standardization exercises and view HESS presentations before each assigned exam.
WREB’s testing specialist, Sharon Osborn Popp, is becoming more familiar with exam data that comes in both electronic and paper format. Gathering this data can be tedious, as it exists in different files, e.g., examiner details in one file, candidate results in another and the data that matches them to each other is in a third.

This helps maintain WREB’s status as a premier “National Dental and Dental Hygiene Testing Agency.”
The Restorative and Anesthesia examination electronic scoring is being beta tested and will be implemented in 2013.

Report to New Mexico Dental Hygienists’ Committee and Board of Dental Health Care
by
Rebecca Howard, RDH
Following are highlights from the program. The presentation topics are bolded and a summary follows.
Prescription Drug Abuse: Considerations for Regulators, Educators and Practitioners:
• Illicit use of prescription drugs has become an epidemic. 15,000 people per year die from Rx drug overdose. Many people get Rx drugs from friend or relative. This is indicative that people have too much extra medication in their medicine cabinets.
• Dentists are major prescribers of opiod analgesics to 10-19 year olds. This means number of prescriptions, not number of tabs/pills.
• DEA will speak to boards and advise on what to be aware of and how to have a good relationship with pharmacists. They also want to address education of professionals and recommend a continuing education requirement.
New Developments Related to the Dental Therapist:
• A number of states are looking at the Alaska model and curriculum developed by the Kellogg Foundation.
• In Minnesota the first therapists have graduated and started to practice. Thirteen licenses have been issued.
• CODA development of accreditation standards for Dental Therapy programs are still under development. The program hasn’t been going long enough and there are not enough graduates to evaluate on whether the education is effective.
Status of ADA RFP for Portfolio-Style Examinations:
• Workgroup is still seeking proposals.
• ADA has no plans to administer a portfolio style exam. They were tasked with setting standards and are still asking for input.
AADB Assessment Services Program (ASP)-Dentist Professional Review and Evaluation Program (D-PREP) and Expert Review Assessment (ERA)
• Two pilot cases have been completed and feedback is being reviewed.
• This service is not for routine disciplinary cases, but more for someone who has been suspended or revoked. It is also not for an impaired practitioner. It is a competency assessment and a recommendation for remediation will be made if possible.
• There is no anticipated cost for this program to state boards. All costs are assessed to the licensee. There is a $1000 non-refundable application fee. A $3000 assessment packet is then put together by AADB staff and the remainder of the $10-15,000 fee goes to the educational institution where the assessment is conducted.
• An AADB representative will come to state boards to explain the process.
• Summary of program:
1. There are four categories of assessment—Pass (unlikely), Pass with minor recommendations, Pass with major recommendations, Fail (completely unsafe to practice)
2. A Pre-Evaluation Review which includes a report form referring state board, the respondent’s treatment records, and an intake questionnaire is required.
3. Followed by a four day assessment which includes:
4. an intake interview of a250-500 question exam that requires literature review and comprehensive patient case assessment,
5. a mock patient scenario,
6. and finally and exit interview
7. A report to the board is then generated which includes recommendations
i.e., Comprehensive course on ethics and professional responsibilities
This course should include
A
B
C
Comprehensive course on sedation including
A
B
C
8. Remediation can be taken anywhere.
9. Recommendations are not CEs as we know
10. Customized programs will be developed
Update on National Dental Examinations and the Committee for an Integrated Examination (CIE)
• Committee has been working since 2010 and their focus has been on content, what types of items to include, and developing communication between the committee and educators and state boards.
• There is a desire to move toward applying knowledge and not just rote memorization of facts and information.
• The integrated exam will consist of only one part instead of two. This exam will not be implemented until 2017 at the earliest.

Division of Dental Hygiene
July 2012 Report
TO: NM Board of Dental Health Care
FROM: Christine Nathe, Program Director
DATE: 7/12/12
The University of New Mexico, Division of Dental Hygiene will be celebrating 50 years of educating dental hygienists in New Mexico on Saturday evening, October 20, 2012 with a Gala Event at the Hyatt Regency in Albuquerque. This celebration coincides with the annual New Mexico Dental Hygienists’ Association Scientific Session. All proceeds will go towards funding UNM’s school-based dental clinics, which provide excellent learning opportunities for student dental hygienists, while serving children in Albuquerque who need access to preventive dental services.
Demetra Logothetis, the UNM Program Director will retire this month and will come back on a .25 contract to teach and coordinate the graduate program in August. Demetra has been at UNM for 26 years, 16 of those as Dental Hygiene Program Director. Christine Nathe assumed administrative responsibilities in July.
The Division recently received a $10,000 grant to begin providing preventive dental services at the UNM Young Children’s Health Center- a pediatric clinic- in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The National Children’s Oral Health Foundation funded this initiative.
The Division graduated 23 entry-level BSDH students, 1 degree completion student and 3 graduate students. The entry-level students are now in the process of applying for dental hygiene licensure.

Report to the New Mexico Board of Dental Health Care & Dental Hygiene Committee
April 20, 2012
Admission: Thirty students were accepted into the second cohort that started March 26, 2012. We were pleased with the applicant pool and have noted that the accelerated nature of our program appeals to many individuals in New Mexico in that we had applicants from various parts of the state including: Clovis, Ruidoso, Mora, Estancia, Grants, Los Lunas/Belen area, Las Cruces, Santa Fe, Las Vegas, and Taos.
Current Status of Cohorts: Cohort one consists of 27 students that are currently within their fourth semester of the six semester program. Cohort one is progressing well and has demonstrated to be a cohesive and highly motivated group of students. Cohort two consists of 30 students that are currently within the first month of their first semester. They are new to our institution and showing great promise.
Faculty and Staff: Since the last report we have hired two additional employees including a full time second year clinical coordinator and a dental assistant.
Stephanie Baca, RDH, MS- Second Year Clinic Coordinator
Rita Helak, CDA - Clinical Specialist/ Dental Assistant
The Program will be hiring a First Year Clinic Coordinator within the next months.
Community Outreach/Clinical Activities:
We are pleased to announce that we have received full credentialing as a Medicaid provider. We feel our status as a Medicaid provider will contribute to the improved oral and overall health of the public while simultaneously broadening our patient pool and educational experiences for our students.
Community/Professional Activities:
Students in our first cohort fundraised over $1500.00 within the past several months. A portion of those funds was used to support travel, lodging, and participation in the New Mexico Mission of Mercy that was held in Las Cruces in March 2012. Both students and select faculty took part in the event. All participants reported a great sense of camaraderie and pride in the dental profession. While in Las Cruces our students and faculty also attended a student social graciously hosted by the Dona Ana Community College Dental Hygiene Program.
Programmatic Updates:
In preparation for including the Expanded Function Dental Auxiliaries (EFDA) curriculum within our Program we have completed the following:
• Missy Pleše applied for and was granted approval to observe a WREB restorative exam. Missy traveled to Washington State and observed a restorative exam on March 27, 2012.
• Missy Pleše in conjunction with Lisa Johnson, RDH, BS, MS (c), PMI’s consultant for the EFDA curriculum, submitted an application for a continuing education course in Expanded Function Dental Auxiliary Procedures to the New Mexico Board of Dental Health Care that was approved on March 3, 2012. With this approval PMI intends to start the process of having Ms. Johnson educate and train select faculty in preparation to take the WREB restorative board and subsequently integrate the curriculum into our Program.
The expansion of our program, faculty and campus has presented the opportunity for us to explore supplemental learning experiences for our students. Currently we have faculty and students utilizing the following:
• Blackboard, a virtual/web-based learning tool.
Faculty have integrated Blackboard into the class room setting. We have found this resource to be instrumental in facilitating student/faculty communication and student peer collaboration. This learning tool is interactive and we feel the use of this resource will better prepare our student for the computer based dental hygiene board examinations.
• Simulation laboratory, a comprehensive computer based learning environment.
PMI is fortunate to have a state of the art, fully equipped simulation lab with a computerized simulation manikin. Our department has starting utilizing the simulation lab for select courses including Pain Management, Pharmacology and medical emergencies related to Clinic Courses.
Regulatory Affairs
The faculty is preparing of our upcoming CODA site visit that is scheduled for December 6 -7, 2012. A committee has been formed to review all related documents of the self-study.
In closing, Pima Medical Institute’s Albuquerque Dental Hygiene Program is diligently working toward our vision of being recognized as a premier dental hygiene program in New Mexico. It is our intent to perform excellence in teaching and commitment in the promotion of our student’s success!
