DEN 740C Introduction to Comprehensive Care VI

Credits: 2
The DEN 740 series introduces students to the School of Dentistry predoctoral patient care clinic. Students are scheduled for regular rotations through the predoctoral clinic with increasing responsibilities as the course progresses.

In the winter term, multiple experiential small group workshops studying Pediatric Case CATs, Ethics, Legal Documentation Requirements, Radiology Interpretation, a series of Interprofessional Primary Care Medicine workshops led by an MD, an Objective Structured Clinical Experience with a Standardized Patient, and an Interprofessional Event demonstrating and sharing knowledge of the Head & Neck Intraoral and Extraoral Exam with medical students will help prepare students to safely treat patients in the clinic as well as think critically about the treatment they are rendering.

Students will begin to provide more aspects of direct patient care in the clinical setting including taking patient radiographs, administering local anesthetic and providing periodontal treatment as well as actively participating in admitting and specialty clinic rotations. This course series is intended to provide a seamless transition into the clinic environment at the School of Dentistry.
