Catalog description

Allows Periodontology residents to develop an in-depth knowledge of the periodontal literature as it relates to research and clinical practice. Gives evidential support to all clinical procedures performed. Taught in a seminar format with all graduate faculty members participating as discussion leaders. Graduate faculty will present and discuss topics in their areas of expertise. Residents will be assigned articles related to the topic of discussion that need to be reviewed each week prior to the scheduled seminar. The assigned literature will be reviewed from a historical perspective with recent updates included as necessary (a separate current literature review will run concurrently). Allow residents to not only develop critical reading and thinking abilities but also aid in developing verbal communication skills and confidence.
