Article Synopsis
  • A cross-sectional study assessed graduating dental residents' views on online clinical examinations using a validated online questionnaire consisting of 15 multiple choice questions and one open-ended question.
  • 256 dental residents participated, revealing high levels of anxiety (70.7%) and stress (56.1%) during preparation, but only 13.6% experienced internet speed issues during the exams.
  • Overall, while the acceptance of the online format was moderate, residents found it less stressful without an in-person examiner, although they faced challenges in digitizing their academic work and noted issues with sound and image quality.
