ORALHLTH 2212A - Clinical Practice IIOH (Modified) Part 1

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2017

A significant focus of Clinical Practice IIOH (Mod) Part 1 is Operative Techniques, based on a Minimum Intervention (MI) philosophy. As the student's understanding of MI dentistry grows through resource sessions and tutorials, the opportunity to develop and refine required psychomotor skills and techniques in the laboratory environment is provided. These skills are then transferred to the clinical setting, where the procedures are performed on patients. Students will build on their intra-oral radiography skills to include prescription, diagnosis and treatment planning.

    Assessment Related Requirements
    Assessment of Simulation Clinic/ClinicFor 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 1 & 2 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 1 your tutor will also award summative marks towards your final practical mark. •    At the end of Semester 2 your tutor will award summative marks towards your final practical mark.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 1, you will have a feedback session with your
    tutor/coordinator, who will allocate a summative grade based upon your
    self-assessment sheets. •    At the end of Semester 1 and 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 1 you will have a feedback session with your
    tutor, who will allocate a summative grade, based upon which will
    contribute to your final clinical assessment •    At the end of
    Semester 2 you will have a feedback session with your tutor, who will
    subsequently 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 skillsWherever 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 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 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 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 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 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 and patient attendances 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.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 see one of your tutors or the stream co-ordinator.
    Assessment Detail
    A satisfactory standard in each practical and theory component must be obtained to secure a passing grade in all components of Clinical Practice IIOH.  Redemption opportunities may be offered for written assessments, but are not available for preclinical or clinical
    assessment areas.

  • 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.
