Comprehensive Patient Care

Catalog description

The Comprehensive Patient Care course allows students to continue to provide comprehensive oral health care in a group practice setting, to further develop their treatment, diagnostic and assessment skills. This correlates to achieving a level of confidence as they transition into private practice or residency programs. While most care will be delivered by a single student, some patients may be treated by other members of the group depending on the complexity of the required care and other factors. The members of the group are responsible for the delivery of comprehensive dental care including continual maintenance of the treated patient’s oral health. Additionally, students are expected to be active during each clinic session and follow established practice management protocols and procedures. This course is open only to students in the Doctor of Dental Surgery program. Core curriculum.
