Information you need to know to work as a Dental Assistant

Who is the licensing body responsible for dental assistants in alberta.

In Alberta, you must be registered with the College of Alberta Dental Assistants (CADA) to practice as a Dental Assistant. Only registered members may call themselves Registered Dental Assistants (RDA).

What are the registration requirements for internationally educated Dental Assistants?

The registration process for internationally educated Dental Assistants begins with the National Dental Assisting Examining Board (NDAEB) . You must submit the following to the NDAEB:

• A completed education assessment from International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS) , World Education Services - Canada (WES) , or International Credential Evaluation Services (ICES) .
• The international assessment fee, payable in Canadian dollars to NDAEB by money order or bank draft only.
• Certified true copies of academic transcripts and diploma, translated to English or French if necessary, plus a certified true copy of the original document in another language if it was translated. Copies of academic records and other required documents must be certified or notarized as true copies in Canada by a notary public, lawyer, commissioner of oaths or at a provincial government office. Documents notarized in another country are not acceptable except those that were certified /notarized by Canadian staff at a Canadian embassy or consulate abroad.
• A completed Dental Assisting Course Work Report (DACWR) . Note: IQAS requires you to submit the Dental Assisting Course Work Report (DACWR) to them along with your transcripts for assessment.
• A signed consent form permitting the NDAEB to gather and disclose your personal information to members of the Candidate Eligibility Assessment Committee (CEAC). Note: NDAEB requires your consent before being able to register you for the NDAEB Exam or Clinical Practice Evaluation.
• If the name appearing on the academic records or other documents is different than the name of the applicant, a certified true copy of a marriage or divorce certificate or sworn affidavit is required for NDAEB to verify and reconcile the name of the applicant with the name appearing on the documents being submitted.

Note: If you are an internationally educated Dentist and have been granted exam eligibility by the National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB), you do not need to submit an education assessment to the NDAEB. Instead, submit proof of registration with the NDEB, along with certified true copies of your academic records, a completed Dental Assisting Course Work report, signed consent form and application fee.

If your dental assisting education does not meet the standard required for exam eligibility, you may wish to attend an educational upgrading program in Canada. Should you decide to attend upgrading in Canada, you are urged to attend a program accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada as some Dental Assisting Regulatory Authorities require graduates of Canadian non-accredited programs to undergo the CPE prior to being considered for licensure/registration/certification. Please refer to the list of accredited dental assisting schools available on the NDAEB website.

If your dental assisting education does meet the standard, you will be granted eligibility to register for:

• the NDAEB Written Examination consisting of 200 multiple choice questions. Details are available in the Written Exam section of the NDAEB website and the Candidate Handbook for the Written Exam.
• the NDAEB Clinical Practice Evaluation (CPE) consisting of a half-day clinical evaluation of nine (9) intra-oral skills performed on a mannequin. Details are available in the Clinical Practice Evaluation section of the NDAEB website and the Candidate Handbook for the CPE. Note: International applicants considered eligible for the NDAEB examination may wish to attend upgrading in the clinical component (9 intra-oral skills) rather than sit the Clinical Practice Evaluation (CPE). Applicants successfully completing intra-oral upgrading at an accredited Canadian school will not be required to complete the CPE by the NDAEB but will be considered graduates of a Canadian program.Please refer to the list of accredited dental assisting schools available on the NDAEB website.

Once you have passed the NDAEB Written Exam, and either passed the NDAEB Clinical Practice Evaluation or completed intra-oral upgrading, the second step is to apply for Registration and a Practice Permit with the College of Alberta Dental Assistants (CADA) .

• Submit the Registration Application - With NDAEB and pay the applicable fees.
• Include a copy of your NDAEB Written Exam results letter.
• Include a copy of your NDAEB Clinical Practice Evaluation (CPE) results letter, or complete the Intra-Oral Training section of the application form if you successfully completed intra-oral upgrading at an accredited Canadian school.

Why were so many metro stations in Moscow renamed?

Okhotny Ryad station in Soviet times and today.

The Moscow metro system has 275 stations, and 28 of them have been renamed at some point or other—and several times in some cases. Most of these are the oldest stations, which opened in 1935.

The politics of place names

The first station to change its name was Ulitsa Kominterna (Comintern Street). The Comintern was an international communist organization that ceased to exist in 1943, and after the war Moscow authorities decided to call the street named after it something else. In 1946, the station was renamed Kalininskaya. Then for several days in 1990, the station was called Vozdvizhenka, before eventually settling on Aleksandrovsky Sad, which is what it is called today.

The banner on the entraince reads: "Kalininskaya station." Now it's Alexandrovsky Sad.

Until 1957, Kropotkinskaya station was called Dvorets Sovetov ( Palace of Soviets ). There were plans to build a monumental Stalinist high-rise on the site of the nearby Cathedral of Christ the Saviour , which had been demolished. However, the project never got off the ground, and after Stalin's death the station was named after Kropotkinskaya Street, which passes above it.

Dvorets Sovetov station, 1935. Letters on the entrance: "Metro after Kaganovich."

Of course, politics was the main reason for changing station names. Initially, the Moscow Metro itself was named after Lazar Kaganovich, Joseph Stalin’s right-hand man. Kaganovich supervised the construction of the first metro line and was in charge of drawing up a master plan for reconstructing Moscow as the "capital of the proletariat."

In 1955, under Nikita Khrushchev's rule and during the denunciation of Stalin's personality cult, the Moscow Metro was named in honor of Vladimir Lenin.

Kropotkinskaya station, our days. Letters on the entrance: "Metropolitan after Lenin."

New Metro stations that have been opened since the collapse of the Soviet Union simply say "Moscow Metro," although the metro's affiliation with Vladimir Lenin has never officially been dropped.

Zyablikovo station. On the entrance, there are no more signs that the metro is named after Lenin.

Stations that bore the names of Stalin's associates were also renamed under Khrushchev. Additionally, some stations were named after a neighborhood or street and if these underwent name changes, the stations themselves had to be renamed as well.

Until 1961 the Moscow Metro had a Stalinskaya station that was adorned by a five-meter statue of the supreme leader. It is now called Semyonovskaya station.

Left: Stalinskaya station. Right: Now it's Semyonovskaya.

The biggest wholesale renaming of stations took place in 1990, when Moscow’s government decided to get rid of Soviet names. Overnight, 11 metro stations named after revolutionaries were given new names. Shcherbakovskaya became Alekseyevskaya, Gorkovskaya became Tverskaya, Ploshchad Nogina became Kitay-Gorod and Kirovskaya turned into Chistye Prudy. This seriously confused passengers, to put it mildly, and some older Muscovites still call Lubyanka station Dzerzhinskaya for old times' sake.

At the same time, certain stations have held onto their Soviet names. Marksistskaya and Kropotkinskaya, for instance, although there were plans to rename them too at one point.

"I still sometimes mix up Teatralnaya and Tverskaya stations,” one Moscow resident recalls .

 “Both have been renamed and both start with a ‘T.’ Vykhino still grates on the ear and, when in 1991 on the last day of my final year at school, we went to Kitay-Gorod to go on the river cruise boats, my classmates couldn’t believe that a station with that name existed."

The city government submitted a station name change for public discussion for the first time in 2015. The station in question was Voykovskaya, whose name derives from the revolutionary figure Pyotr Voykov. In the end, city residents voted against the name change, evidently not out of any affection for Voykov personally, but mainly because that was the name they were used to.

What stations changed their name most frequently?

Some stations have changed names three times. Apart from the above-mentioned Aleksandrovsky Sad (Ulitsa Kominterna->Kalininskaya->Vozdvizhenka->Aleksandrovsky Sad), a similar fate befell Partizanskaya station in the east of Moscow. Opened in 1944, it initially bore the ridiculously long name Izmaylovsky PKiO im. Stalina (Izmaylovsky Park of Culture and Rest Named After Stalin). In 1947, the station was renamed and simplified for convenience to Izmaylovskaya. Then in 1963 it was renamed yet again—this time to Izmaylovsky Park, having "donated" its previous name to the next station on the line. And in 2005 it was rechristened Partizanskaya to mark the 60th anniversary of victory in World War II.

Another interesting story involves Alekseyevskaya metro station. This name was originally proposed for the station, which opened in 1958, since a village with this name had been located here. It was then decided to call the station Shcherbakovskaya in honor of Aleksandr Shcherbakov, a politician who had been an associate of Stalin. Nikita Khrushchev had strained relations with Shcherbakov, however, and when he got word of it literally a few days before the station opening the builders had to hastily change all the signs. It ended up with the concise and politically correct name of Mir (Peace).

The name Shcherbakovskaya was restored in 1966 after Khrushchev's fall from power. It then became Alekseyevskaya in 1990.

But the station that holds the record for the most name changes is Okhotny Ryad, which opened in 1935 on the site of a cluster of market shops. When the metro system was renamed in honor of Lenin in 1955, this station was renamed after Kaganovich by way of compensation. The name lasted just two years though because in 1957 Kaganovich fell out of favor with Khrushchev, and the previous name was returned. But in 1961 it was rechristened yet again, this time in honor of Prospekt Marksa, which had just been built nearby.

In 1990, two historical street names—Teatralny Proyezd and Mokhovaya Street—were revived to replace Prospekt Marksa, and the station once again became Okhotny Ryad.
