Well, late last night, we received some WONDERFUL news!!
In order for Ray to become a licensed dentist, he must pass a board exam, which is broken into 6 sections. The first section is written. Ray took this portion last summer and passed!
The remaining 5 sections include one more written exam, clinic time with real patients and work in a simulation lab. Although most students opt to take all 5 final parts their 4th year, the students are given the option to take parts 2 & 3 (endodontics and fixed prosthodontics) their 3rd year. So, Ray, being our little clinical overachiever, decided to give it a go. He and seven other 3rd year students joined 50+ seniors on a sunny Saturday morning in taking 2 of the 6 most important tests of their lives.
We were told it would take roughly 10 days to get the results. Ray, me, and all 4 parents anxiously waited for the scores to be posted or a letter to arrive. Last night it happened…Ray got a phone call, the scores were up. We pulled up the site and searched frantically on the list for Ray’s secret “candidate number”….click and hold your breath….PASS!!!! HE PASSED!!! HE PASSED!!!
I never doubted that he could do it. I knew he was going to pass, but what a relief to know that its behind him. That’s 2 less things he will have to stress about next year, leaving more time for him to spend with Baby!! I’m so proud of Daddy Ray. 3 tests down, 3 to go!
