DENT 2005BHO - Dental Science and Practice II Part 2

Teaching Hospitals - Semester 2 - 2024

This stream has a patient care focus and builds on the knowledge acquired in first year. The aim is to develop an understanding of the changes that occur to the oral cavity when an imbalance develops in the oral ecosystem. The emphasis will be to maintain a healthy balance through prevention and minimal restoration where necessary. By working through a series of interactive learning activities, students will develop and integrate knowledge relating to evidence-based patient care including clinical skills and professional behaviours. These integrated learning activities will be supported by class meetings, laboratory, tutorial and clinical sessions. Learning will also be supported by independent study and discussion of findings in class. Students will work in a collaborative environment to learn to critically evaluate themselves, and plan and implement strategies for improvement. The stream emphasises the scientific basis of dentistry by integrating knowledge of the structure and function of the body, especially of the head and neck region, and also aspects of microbiology, immunology and pathology, with an emphasis on developing the skills to examine, assess risk and systematically manage healthy patients with minor oral conditions. There is a strong emphasis on the acquisition of manual dexterity skills relating to operative dentistry while building on knowledge relating to a preventive approach to oral health. Students will further their experience in behavioural science by examining and managing patients.

Assessment Detail

For DSP 2 Semester 2
Final grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme: GS8.

HURDLE 1

Students must achieve a satisfactory grade overall in the Practical component to pass DSP 2.

The practical component consists of

Clinical Performance and
Simulation Clinic Performance

Clinical Performance: Performance in clinical sessions will be based on tutor assessment. Assessment will cover application of knowledge, clinical examination, diagnostic and management skills, practical/technical skills professional behaviour and interpersonal skills (refer to Clinical Assessment Criteria and Standards Book). Students need to be familiar with the Clinical Assessment Criteria and Standards as you are responsible for monitoring your own learning. This includes identifying and implementing realistic and achievable strategies for improvement.

Students will also need to complete a Clinic Learning Plan during semester 1 and semester 2. This involves setting learning goals and self-monitoring. Completion and submission of the Clinic Learning Plan forms an integral part clinical performance.

Clinic tutors will provide feedback (verbal and written) to students during/at end of each session to assist your learning. Students need to be proactive with your tutors to seek feedback on your progress. This includes identifying and discussing areas that require improvement and seeking assistance in identifying strategies that you can implement.

At the end of semester 1, students will receive feedback regarding the standard of performance achieved. Students who are identified as performing below the required standard will be required to meet with clinic/year coordinators to discuss their progress. Mid-way through semester 2, coordinators will collect progress information from all tutors regarding students in the BDS2 year. Students who were not performing at a satisfactory standard in semester 1 will again be required to meet with coordinators to discuss their further progress. Additionally, students who achieved a satisfactory standard in semester 1 but have been identified as progressing at a lower standard at the time of the semester 2 progress reports will be asked to meet with coordinators. Students will need to identify and implement strategies for improvement supplemented by feedback from tutor/coordinator.

At the end of semester 2, tutors will submit a final written summative assessment and a provisional final grade for clinical performance.

The final grade in the clinical component of Dental Science and Practice 2 will be based on the students’ tutor assessment of a student’s ability to consistently perform to the required standard in the summative assessment component of the Clinic program, Semester 2. Your final assessment will be based on an overall review of your knowledge, clinical examination, diagnostic and management skills, practical/technical skills, professional behaviour and interpersonal skills in a simulation clinic context. Tutor assessment will consider overall professional behaviour including attendance and ability to monitor your own performance.

At the end of semester 2, tutors will submit a final written summative assessment and a provisional final grade for clinic performance. The final grade in the practical component of Dental Science and Practice 2 is not just the sum of individual assessments in your self-assessment booklet. These assessments provide feedback to help you with your learning.

Final clinic performance in DSP 2 is based on a criterion-based grading system (Well Above Expectations; Above Expectations; Met Expectations and Not Met Expectations). These grades are subsequently converted to a score that contributes to the 10% of the overall practical component for the year.

Students who at the end of the year been graded as “Not Met the Standard” in the Clinic Component of DSP 2 will not be offered any Additional Clinic Assessment

Simulation Clinic Performance: Performance in simulation clinical sessions will be based on tutor assessment. Assessment will cover application of knowledge, clinical examination, diagnostic and management skills, practical/technical skills, professional behaviour, and interpersonal skills (refer to Clinical Assessment Criteria and Standards Book). Students need to be familiar with the Clinical Assessment Criteria and Standards as you are responsible for monitoring your own learning. This includes identifying and implementing realistic and achievable strategies for improvement.

Students will also need to complete a Sim Clinic Learning Plan. This involves setting learning goals and self-monitoring. Completion and submission of the Sim Clinic Learning Plan forms an integral part clinical performance.

Simulation Clinic tutors will provide feedback (verbal and written) to students during/at end of each session to assist your learning. Students need to be proactive with your tutors to seek feedback on your progress. This includes identifying and discussing areas that require improvement and seeking assistance in identifying strategies that you can implement.

At the end of semester 1, students will receive feedback regarding the standard of performance achieved. Remedial sessions will be offered to those students identified as Not Yet Met Expectations or Not Met Expectations. Semester 1 assessment is formative and will not contribute to your final simulated clinic grade.

The final grade in the simulated clinical component of Dental Science and Practice 2 will be based on the students’ tutor assessment of a student’s ability to consistently perform to the required standard in the summative assessment component of the Simulation Clinic program, Semester 2. Your final assessment will be based on an overall review of your knowledge, clinical examination, diagnostic and management skills, practical/technical skills, professional behaviour, and interpersonal skills in a simulation clinic context. Tutor assessment will consider overall professional behaviour including attendance and ability to monitor your own performance.

At the end of semester 2, tutors will submit a final written summative assessment and a provisional final grade for simulation clinic performance. The final grade in the practical component of Dental Science and Practice 2 is not just the sum of individual assessments in your self-assessment booklet. These assessments provide feedback to help you with your learning.

Final simulation clinic performance in DSP 2 is based on a criterion-based grading system (Well Above Expectations; Above Expectations; Met Expectations; Not Yet Met Expectations and Not Met Expectations). These grades are subsequently converted to a score that contributes to the 20% practical component for the year.

The BDS 2 Assessment board may offer a Supplementary Practical Assessment (SPA) to those students who at the end of the year been graded as “Not Yet Met the Standard” in the Sim clinic Component of DSP 2.

Students who at the end of the year been graded as “Not Met the Standard” in the Sim Clinic will not be offered any Additional Sim Clinic Practical Assessment

NOTE: To pass the practical component of DSP 2 – a satisfactory standard at end of the year in both the Clinic and the Sim Clinic components is required to Pass the Practical Hurdle component of DSP 2.

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.

The School follows the 最新糖心Vlog’s SELT policy regarding the use of SELTs to evaluate its programmes, courses and teachers. The results are reviewed with by Year and Course Coordinators and actions taken as appropriate. A summary of changes that have been made are circulated to staff and students after the review process.

The year co-ordinators will meet with students on a regular basis to discuss the delivery of the course, content, clinical and other matters.

Student representative across the BDS program also meet periodically with the Head of School.
