Evidence-Based Dentistry

Catalog description

This is a small group, problem-based learning course that will give students the tools they need to understand how to conduct research, to develop into life-long 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 will be only one mid-term online quiz to evaluate progression on general concepts given during class, and there will be 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 of PEEB 5101 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.
