About the work

Walk me through how you'd triage and stabilize an emergency that walks in during a full appointment day.

What soft-tissue surgeries and dental procedures are you comfortable performing on your own?

What they are checking: Whether their surgical and dental skill matches the case mix described in the posting.

What diagnostic equipment do you rely on most in general practice, and how do you decide when to refer?
