Confidence Starts with Preparation
The Performance-Based Development System (PBDS) test is designed to help clinicians show what they do best: deliver safe, skilled, and confident care.
It’s how many hospitals evaluate real-world competency, focusing on three key areas:
- Critical Thinking Skills
- Interpersonal Relationship Skills
- Technical Skills
Most of the tests involve watching short videos of real-world clinical scenarios, where you’ll then be asked to explain how you would handle each scenario. It’s practical, realistic, and designed to highlight your expertise. Get familiar with the process and a few sample cases by downloading our study guide below.
