title: A new route for dental graduates.
abstract: The two dental faculties believe that the new examination will provide a modern, fit-for-purpose, innovative assessment for today's young dentist. The introduction of a workplace-based portfolio removes the reliance on traditional tests of knowledge and, together with the OSCE elements, allows for triangulation of methods to test the areas set out in the GPT Curriculum. Furthermore, the faculties hope that the evaluation of workplace-based experience, and decreased reliance on traditional examination methods, will also have greater meaning for young dental graduates.
