Clinic Sessions 

The class will be divided into groups for clinic sessions and will be rostered at either Marion or Elizabeth GP Plus Dental Clinics - these groups will be organised during Commencement Week. The groups will be rostered for clinical sessions based upon the chairs available for use.

Sessions when students are not providing direct patient care should be used for out of clinic study or clinical assistance (when required).

Clinic sessions will be held on Monday and Fridays at the Marion and Elizabeth clinics – a roster will be provided at the start of the year.

There will be a SGDE in paedodontic dentistry class meetings where students will explore of topic of relevance to oral health practice with paediatric dentistry experts

Assessment of Simulation Clinic/Clinic
For your Simulation Clinic sessions (Operative Techniques) students will complete a self-assessment sheet for each procedure and discuss it with their tutor.
•    At the end of Semester  you will have a feedback session with your tutor, where you will discuss a formative grade, based upon your self-assessment sheets (these formative grades are used for feedback purposes only).
•    At the end of Semester 2 your tutor will award summative marks towards your final practical mark.


Clinical Assessment
For your Pre-Clinical/Clinical assessment you will complete a self-assessment sheet at the end of each session and discuss your assessment with your tutor.    

In the Dental Hygiene component:
•    At the end of Semester 2 these summative marks awarded by your tutors will contribute towards your final practical mark.  A feedback session for each student with the Stream Coordinator will be scheduled early in Semester 2 to review the Semester 1 assessment & set goals for Semester 2.    

In the Dental Therapy component:
•    At the end of Semester 2 your tutor will award a summative mark, which will contribute to your final clinical assessment. 

Further information about the practical assessment will be given during class meetings. Every effort will be made to help students identify areas in which difficulty is being experienced, and to remediate the level of performance.  If you consider that you are having difficulty with any part of the stream, please contact the relevant discipline/stream coordinator.    

To obtain a pass grade in Clinical Practice IIOH, you must obtain a satisfactory (or above) result for the year in the assignments and written examinations as well as in each of the clinical/laboratory components.      

A uniform system of clinical assessment 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 assessment 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 and discuss the self-assessment 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 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 self-assessment booklet, which you must have with you at each clinic session. In addition, you will complete a Clinical Learning Portfolio that demonstrates attainment of clinical competencies you successfully complete in pre-clinic and clinic sessions over the year. During the orientation period, you will be giving detailed information on how these evidence portfolios are to be implemented in your clinical program.

A specific self-assessment book for the Operative Techniques sessions in the Simulation Clinic will also be issued to you, and should be brought to all these sessions.

Learning can be defined as a change in understanding.  Therefore it is your responsibility to demonstrate improved understanding related 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 Clinical Assessment Criteria information (for both sem 1 and sem 2) describing specific skills criteria for the clinical procedures that you undertake in the Clinical Practice II OH course.

The criteria for the assessment of Infection control, Knowledge base and Professional behaviour are common to all procedures and disciplines.

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 self-assessment booklet.  You should identify strengths, areas needing improvement and strategies for improvement. You should then seek feedback from your tutor about your clinical performance.

Tutors will record details of student and patient attendances in the clinic and whether or not you have self-assessed your work regularly. If you do not complete a self-assessment, your tutor will mark your performance as unsatisfactory.

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.

Note: You should be aware that your final grade in the preclinical/clinical component of Clinical Practice II OH is not just the sum of individual assessments in your self-assessment 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 mentors throughout the year.

Further information about the practical assessment component will be given during class meetings.  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 the discipline/stream co-ordinator
