One case study is presented orally in a seminar setting to peers and the faculty, and graded subjectively as to content and practitioner rationale. The case study is also written and turned in to be graded by the faculty for content and rationale. A handout describes what salient points are to be used and written in the case history. One objective test is given to determine if the student has mastered the didactic material both at the lower and higher levels of learning as described by Bloom's taxonomy. One final test using a simulation of a patient is used to determine if the student can apply the principles of treatment planning to the clinical setting.
Attendance is required.
1.The student will have demonstrated a passing grade on all didactic tests. 2.The student will have demonstrated competency in oral delivery, and in the written case scenario of a case study by a passing grade on both, using the subjective criteria described in the student handbook. Remediation is tailored to the student's deficiencies in the didactic material. Particular attention is given to the student's ability to apply the principles of treatment planning to the clinical situations in the comprehensive care of dental patients. Back to top.
