Opinion (Policy)

British Columbia is experiencing challenges with dental workforce shortages, particularly in rural areas. The new Health Professions and Occupations Act may inadvertently create additional barriers for internationally trained dentists seeking to practice in BC. Consider the tension between maintaining professional standards and addressing urgent access needs. How should BC approach credential recognition for foreign-trained dentists in the context of these competing priorities?

Opinion (Policy)

British Columbia is implementing the Health Professions and Occupations Act, which introduces significant regulatory changes affecting all health professionals, including dentists. The BC Dental Association has expressed concerns that these new complex regulations may deter skilled dentists from coming to or remaining in BC, potentially exacerbating access issues in rural and underserved areas. How should the balance between professional regulation and healthcare accessibility be approached in BC's context of existing dental shortages?

Competencies
Critical ThinkingProblem-Solving
Opinion (Ethics)

The federal Canadian Dental Care Plan is being implemented across Canada, but British Columbia's unique fee structure and the fact that BC dentists are not required to follow the provincial fee guide creates potential complications. Should BC dentists be ethically obligated to participate in federal programs even when reimbursement rates may not align with their practice costs?

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about UBC Dentistry practice questions

How many questions are in the question bank?
UBC Dentistry contains 150+ curated interview questions specifically selected to help you prepare. Questions cover all major types including fit, behavioral situational, ethical, policy, and quirky questions.
How do you come up with the questions?
Our questions are created by reviewing a wide range of information on real interview practices and identifying the themes emphasized across different formats and programs. We combine common recurring ideas into representative prompts and generate realistic scenarios based on common patterns. All questions are therefore either representative of commonly asked questions or original questions inspired by common themes. For school-specific banks, we develop original questions using publicly available information - such as curriculum focus, school values, and local policy considerations - to ensure each set is relevant. All questions are uniquely generated and are not copied or reproduced from any external source.
