Catalog description

BMS 234 is a hybrid course. All aspects of this course will be online with the exception of quizzes and exams. Students will apply and integrate knowledge taught in didactic courses to learn and understand medical conditions. This course will expose students to over 150 medical conditions and the process of preparing peer-reviewed literature. All learning will be independent. Students will rely mostly on their peers and knowledge accumulated in didactic courses to help guide their learning. The medical conditions to be learned during this course are divided into two sets, medical conditions A (MC-A) and medical conditions B (MC-B). For MC-A, student will select one medical condition from a list and generate a guided report which will be peer-reviewed and edited. These reports will be shared with the class for learning. Formative assessment will be online through Canvas. Summative assessment will be through ExamSoft cumulative of all information relevant to the medical conditions. MC-B are a select list of medical conditions that have significant relevance to dentistry. Accumulating information on and learning of these select medical conditions will be the responsibility of each student. These tasks will be accomplished independently of instructors. Understanding of these medical conditions will be formatively assessed through oral examination. Any aspect of these medical conditions may be asked during the oral exam. Passing of oral exam is required to pass the course. Summative assessment will test students' ability to apply this knowledge to understanding medical and dental cases.
