Advanced AEGD Clinic.

Catalog description

Semester course; 18 clinical hours. 6 credits. This is a clinical study and experiential course in advanced general dentistry designed to prepare the second-year residents of the AEGD program for the practice of dentistry at a higher level than that achieved during the first-year resident course of study. It is expected that the resident will evaluate each patient’s general and oral health needs, provide professional dental care and refer the patient, when indicated, to dental specialists or other appropriate health care providers while maintaining a strong continuity of care. The AEGD resident will develop professionally not only in the clinical aspect, but in the ability to think critically. AEGD students must enroll in this course for two consecutive semesters for a total of 12 credits. Graded as pass/fail.
