Biomedical Evidence-Based Dentistry

Catalog description

A small group, problem-based learning course that gives students the tools they need to understand how to conduct research, to develop into lifelong learners and to learn presentation skills. It is comprised of several learning modules, consisting of a brief orientation by the faculty, then followed by self-paced learning by the students in randomly generated small groups. There is only one mid-term online quiz to evaluate progression on general concepts given during class, and there is only one final 10-minute presentation after the development of a VIRTUAL research proposal (and the execution with virtual data analysis) by each team. The ultimate goal is to provide specific tools for the dental student to become a lifelong learner dentist (with a clear understanding of evidence-based dentistry and the scientific method) with a fundamental critical approach to the dental literature.
