DENT 5005AHO - Dental Science and Practice V Part 1

Teaching Hospitals - Semester 1 - 2017

Dental Science and Practice V provides students with the opportunity to develop as dental professionals who, upon successful completion of the course, will be able to manage patients with an increasingly complex range of dental problems. The focus of the course is to emphasise a holistic, preventive-based approach to oral health care, with a minimally invasive approach if restorative treatment is required. Students will be expected to apply and integrate knowledge and understanding of relevant biological and medical sciences in managing their patients and demonstrate high levels of professionalism, including an ability to self-assess effectively and a desire to continue to learn and grow as a member of the dental profession.

Learning Outcomes

Course Learning Outcomes

Key student learning objectives for Dental Science and Practice V are:

1. To adopt a holistic approach to the delivery of patient care.
2. To demonstrate an ability to integrate concepts and topics relevant to dentistry, drawing on material that is covered within the year and in previous years.
3. To take responsibility for identifying, implementing and monitoring their own learning goals.
4. To understand the principles of research and scholarship; to undertake evidence-based practice and quality assurance activities; and to explore important topics in depth.
5. To demonstrate effective interpersonal skills; communication and team-working skills; appropriate professional behaviours and personal development.

Other course objectives:

6. The Dental Science and Practice V course will ensure substantial opportunities to learn and to practise in the Adelaide Dental Hospital and suburban clinics of the South 最新糖心Vlog Dental Service (SADS), and in the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide’s new simulation laboratory. The students will comply with 最新糖心Vlog and SADS policies.
7. The Dental Science and Practice V course will be structured to provide clinical experiences that will be of increasing complexity throughout the year.
8. The scientific and medical components of the DSP5 course will underpin and integrate with the clinical components of the course.
9. The instructional approach in Dental Science and Practice V will consist of a variety of teaching activities, including class meetings, tutorials, workshops, simulation laboratory, and clinical sessions during which students provide patient care. 10. Information and communication technology will be used to enhance student learning and will be integral to the design and delivery of the course.
11. Student assessment, both formative and summative, will be closely matched to the integrated learning and teaching activities and to their clearly defined outcomes objectives. An emphasis will be placed on the development of self-assessment skills.

Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes

In the Dental Science and Practice V course there will be reinforcement of topics covered in previous years to ensure maximal integration and coordination between learning activities and clinic/laboratory sessions.

There ia an extensive comprehensive care model in the final year during which students spend the majority of their time on clinical placements (city, metropolitan and regional). The focus of the clinical experience will be a patient-centred approach where the students will be expected to provide holistic care through comprehensive care plans rather than focussing on procedural items.

Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

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.
Student Support
Students returning from a period of leave or repeating the year will have their ‘special program’ documented in writing following discussion with the Assistant Dean (Undergraduate – Student Affairs). Regular follow-up meetings will be required.
Policies & Guidelines
This section contains links to relevant assessment-related policies and guidelines - all university policies.
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.
