Question & AnswerQ&A (PRC BOARD OF DENTISTRY Resolution NO. 02, S. OF 2007)
The main purpose is to require applicants for the Board Licensure Examination for Dentists to submit a Certificate of Validation of Graduation issued by their respective deans to certify the correctness of the school/college/university name and the validity of their graduation.
This requirement is mandated under Section 17 (d) Article IV of R.A. 4419, known as the Philippine Dental Act of 1965.
It was necessary because some diplomas and transcripts did not show correct names of the schools or did not prove that the graduation was in order, necessitating documentary evidence to certify correctness and validity.
It must indicate the correct name of the school/college/university and other relevant data validating the graduation.
The requirement took effect after fifteen (15) days following full publication in the Official Gazette or a newspaper of general circulation and was imposed starting with the June 2007 and subsequent Board Licensure Examinations.
No, the resolution applies to applicants for the Board Licensure Examination for Dentists beginning June 2007 and thereafter.
They must be notified of the resolution so they can disseminate information to students and properly issue the Certificate of Validation of Graduation.
It helps the Board admit only those applicants who have legitimately completed their academic qualifications with correctly named and recognized institutions, ensuring integrity and accuracy in the examination admission process.
No, applicants must submit the Certificate of Validation of Graduation in addition to their College Diploma and Transcript of Records.
