Course description
This course introduces students to a range of specialist dental disciplines expanding their breadth of their clinical knowledge, skills and understanding beyond those needed for the delivery of basic general dental care. Students will acquire skills and attain competence in history taking, assessment, recognition, diagnosis, care planning and aspects of management for conditions commonly managed within the dental specialties including prosthodontics, endodontics, and orthodontics. Each week students will undertake approximately 3 hours of clinical patient care including provision of care, dental assisting and observations, and 9 hours of competency building activities such as lectures, seminars, problem-based learning, workshops, self-directed activities and pre-clinical simulation exercises. This course assumes approximately 3 hours of self-directed learning each week.
