With NERB’s growth now encompassing more than half of the US states, the organization changed its name to the Commission on Dental Competency Assessments (CDCA) on January 9th, 2015.

Later that same year, ADEX approved the first Patient-Centered Curriculum Integrated Format examinations (PC-CIF). These dental exams brought examiners into clinics on treatment days for grading of provided care as part of the scheduled treatment of patients of record.
