ORALHLTH 1202AHO - Clinical Practice IOH Part 1

Teaching Hospitals - Semester 1 - 2022

This course introduces students to clinical practice of an oral health practitioner and provides a foundation for patient management and oral health practice as a career. Students will work through a range of clinical and simulation based exercises centred on the provision of patient care, clinical skills and knowledge. Students work in a collaborative environment and learning will be supported by independent study and discussion of findings in class and in small tutorial groups. Topics include infection control, workplace health and safety, dental records, preventive dentistry and the management of common dental diseases, development of manual dexterity skills and applied dental clinical practice and radiography.

    Assessment Related Requirements

    A uniform system of clinical performance is used in all years of both BDS and BOH programs.  It is based on self-assessment and it:
    •    gives you direct input into your clinical feedback and learning experiences
    •    encourages you to reflect on the learning process as a whole
    •    teaches you to reflect on and assess the quality of your clinical work using a standardised assessment procedure
    •    encourages you to learn by receiving regular feedback
    •    encourages you to accept responsibility for what you say and do in the clinic
    •    includes objective measures of clinical performance in each discipline
    •    helps develop life-long learning skills.

    Wherever possible, each session will have time allocated for you to:
    •    review with your tutor what you propose to do for each patient for the session
    •    debrief to self-assess your performance and discuss feedback with your tutor.

    You need to follow up learning issues that have been raised during the assessment process by researching the relevant information or by taking steps to improve aspects of your clinical work that have been identified as requiring improvement.

    You will have further opportunity for reflection and sharing experiences with peers during regular debriefing sessions.

    You are required to keep and maintain detailed up-to-date information about your work in the clinic throughout the year.  You will be issued with a clinic feedback booklet, which you must have with you at each clinic session.

    Learning can be defined as a change in understanding.  Therefore it is your responsibility to demonstrate improved understanding in relation to your knowledge, skills and attitudes throughout the year.  The assessment process is designed to provide you with feedback on your progress.

    You will be given a Clinical Assessment Criteria & Standards booklet describing specific skills criteria for the clinical procedures that you undertake in the Clinical Practice course.  The criteria for the assessment of Infection control, Knowledge base, Interpersonal skills and Professional behaviour are common to all procedures and disciplines.

    Please have the Clinical Assessment Criteria booklet with you in the clinic during every session.

    Both you and your tutor will use these standard criteria.  If your assessment differs significantly from that of your tutor’s, the reason(s) should be recorded during the self-assessment process.

    On completion of a clinical procedure, you are required to self-assess your work in your clinic feedback booklet.  You should identify strengths, areas needing improvement and strategies for improvement. You are then required to seek feedback from your tutor about your clinical performance.

    It is your responsibility to seek these assessments from your tutors.

    If you choose not to carry out self-assessment, your tutor will mark your performance as unsatisfactory.

    Tutors will record details of student activities in the clinic and whether or not you have self-assessed your work regularly.

    You need to follow up learning issues that have been raised during the assessment process by researching the relevant information or by taking steps to improve aspects of your clinical work that have been identified as requiring improvement.

    An assessment portfolio for Radiography practicals will be required to be completed and critiqued accurately.

    Note:  You should be aware that your final grade in the clinical component of Clinical Practice is not just the sum of individual assessments in your clinic feedback booklet.  These assessments are formative comments and provided to help you with your learning.  Your final assessment will be based on an overall review of your knowledge, skills and attitudes in a clinical context.  You should discuss your overall performance with your tutors and coordinators throughout the year.

    •    Clinic, Simulation Clinic, Perio and MI Clinic will have equal weighting
    •    The Clinical/Practical component will contribute 35% and the examinations will contribute 65% towards your final mark in Clinical Practice I OH.

    However you must reach a satisfactory standard in each area to pass Clinical Practice I OH.

    Further information about the practical assessment component will be given during resource sessions.  However, it is important to note that the final assessment for each semester is based upon the standard obtained towards the end of the assessment period.  It is not based on an average of the entire semester.

    Every effort will be made to help students identify areas in which difficulty is being experienced, and to provide help to remedy problems.  If you are aware that you are having difficulty with any part of the course, please see one of your tutors or the Course Co-ordinator.

    Assessment Detail
    Self-assessment
    We believe that it is very important for you to develop the ability to assess your own performance in the clinic during your undergraduate years, so that you are able to critically evaluate your day-to-day performance as an oral health practitioner.  We all make mistakes and it is important to realise when a mistake is made and learn from it.

    In addition, as you will be working in groups of 3 in the clinic, you are encouraged to observe how other members of the group approach the same tasks and to learn from this experience.

    At the end of each session you need to complete a self-assessment form.  You should reflect upon each criterion and how you performed on each in relation to that particular sessions’ exercise.  You should comment on your achievements; what you have learnt, your strengths and weaknesses, and areas where you need to improve your learning.  You should then discuss your performance with your tutor.  You should formulate strategies that you can apply in future sessions to improve on your performance.
     
    Tutor assessment
    During Semester 1 and 2, there will be continual feedback via the clinic feedback form, using specific criteria that are used throughout the Clinical Practice Course for 1st year.  Your tutors will also assess your performance and provide feedback at the end of each session.  At the end of Semester 1, your tutor will give you written final feedback and an assessment grade on your performance in practical and clinical sessions, using these criteria:

    •    Knowledge
    •    Skills
    •    Interpersonal Skills
    •    Professional behaviour

    In Semester 2 there will be continual feedback during clinical and practical sessions.  At the end of Semester 2, your tutor will give you written final feedback and an assessment of your performance in the Minimal Intervention and Periodontal laboratory/clinical components.

    You will be assessed in accordance with the criteria relating to the areas of:

    •    Knowledge
    •    Skills
    •    Patient management
    •    Professional behaviour

    Your performance will be graded as Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Borderline or Unsatisfactory - please refer to the ‘Assessment Criteria and Standards’ booklet made available in Week 5.

    Written and Oral Assessments
     A. Assignments
    Semester 1
    •    Infection Control Assignment (group assignment)
          Due: Semester 1 – Week 7 & 10
    •    Clinical Practice Visit Assignment (individual report)
          Due: Semester 2 – Week 1

    This assignment will involve visiting an Oral Health Therapist in practice. You may do the visit in pairs; however the report/workbook will be completed individually.

    Semester 2
    •    Radiographic Assignment (individual practical portfolio to be completed to satisfactorily
    complete this component)

    Due: Semester 2 – Week 11/12

    Each assignment will receive feedback and be graded as Satisfactory (Excellent, Good, Satisfactory), Borderline or Unsatisfactory.
     
    B.  Presentation requirements
    There is one group presentation in Semester 1:
    •    Dietary Analysis

    You are expected to work as a team within your assigned group, equally sharing and contributing to the work for the presentations. Current and up to date references should be used and each group member must have a clear understanding of terminology, concepts and issues that are to be presented. Presentations should include an introduction, the main findings, issues to be raised and a conclusion or summary. There will be question time at the end of each presentation, and all group members need to be prepared to respond to all questions.

    C. Assessment of knowledge and practical ability in Clinic and Sim Clinic
    Each clinical/simulation component will be assigned a grade at the end of each semester, incorporating all aspects of performance (refer to the Assessment Criteria and Standards booklet for CP IOH).

    The components in Semester 1 are Clinic and Sim Clinic and in Semester 2 they are
    Periodontics and Minimal Intervention.
     
    D. Written Examinations
    There will be 2 written examinations, one held at the end of each semester.  The written examinations will draw on material from the other streams (i.e. they will be integrated) and the exam at the end of Semester 2 will draw on material from Semester 1. Your performance in the written exams will be graded as excellent, good, satisfactory, borderline or unsatisfactory.

    Trial Exam
    To assist in assessing your progress in achieving this streams’ objectives and to familiarise yourselves with the CP IOH examination format you will be given the opportunity to complete a Trial Exam in Week 12 of Semester 1.  The test will not count towards your grade but should be used as feedback on your progress.
     
    Semester 1: Midyear written exam – combined DHS & Clinical Practice assessment

    The mid-year written exam will be based on a number of questions with problems relating to both the D&HSc and Clin Prac streams, which you will work through individually under examination conditions. The aim is to assess whether you have a systematic approach to situations, the application of knowledge, and integration of information across streams and written communication skills.  It is to your benefit to make sure that you are working consistently throughout the semester and have a good grasp of the stream content and learning processes. 
     
    Semester 2: End of Year Exam (120mins)

    The end of year Exam will be based on a number of questions relating to the Clinical Practice stream, which you will work through individually under examination conditions. The aim is to assess whether you have a systematic approach to situations, the application of knowledge, and integration of information across streams and written communication skills. It is to your benefit to make sure that you are working consistently throughout the year and have a good grasp of the stream content and learning processes.

    Note:
    •    Semester 1 & 2 Exams contribute 25% and 40% respectively to the year's grades

    •    The Semester 2 examination will include material from the whole of the year

    •    Students with a poor attendance record may be precluded from the exams.
    Submission
    All assignments should comply with instructions given in each assignment. Please see the ASSIGNMENTS area on MyUni Canvas for detailed assignment requirements.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

    Changes made to CP IOH (based on teaching staff and SELT reflection)   

    Each year we ask students to complete an evaluation of their learning and teaching experience. Teaching staff reflect on the SELT, the outcomes achieved and processes implemented to identify necessary changes for future years. These are important tools in the Adelaide School of Dentistry’s aim for excellence in learning and teaching.

    The following changes have been made as a result of these processes:
    •    Assessment tasks and schedule revised
    •    Mid-year exam integrated with Dental & Health Science IOH – format and content revised
    •    Focus on assessing appropriate professional and ethical behaviour in all learning environments
    •    Use of Non-graded pass and group assignments to encourage collaboration and teamwork
    •    Scheduled periodontal instrumentation tutorials in a simulation environment
    •    Students purchase own instrument kits (Periodontal scalers and Minimal Intervention cons kits) to allow self-directed learning as an adjunct to clinic and simulation sessions.
  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
