Indicative study plan
First year From a patient care focus, this year introduces students to the practice of dentistry and provides a foundation for understanding thenormal structure and function of a healthy body. This includes the oral cavity, evidence-based maintenance of patients health, anddentistry as a career.
By working through a series of integrated learning activities, students develop an integrated knowledge base related to evidence-based patient care and related biodental, clinical and behavioural sciences, clinical skills and professional behaviours. These integratedlearning activities present various practice situations that focus on the initial phases of patient care and are supported by class meetings,
laboratory, tutorial and clinical exercises.Learning is also supported by independent study and discussion of findings in class. Students work in a collaborative environment tolearn to critically evaluate themselves, and plan and implement strategies for improvement.
Second year Second year builds on the first year, maintaining the focus on patient care. The aim is to develop an understanding of the changes thatoccur in the oral cavity when an imbalance of the oral ecosystem develops.
The emphasis will be to restore and maintain the balance towards health. Students will participate in integrated learning activities,supported by class meetings, laboratory, tutorials, clinical sessions and independent study.
Second year continues the emphasis on the scientific basis of dentistry by pairing knowledge of the bodys structure and function withthe development of skills in examining and assessing risk, and how to systematically manage healthy patients with minor conditions.
Third and fourth years In the third and fourth years students will extend their dental sciences studies to include the understanding of dental disorders andthe human diseases that have direct relevance to oral health and dental practice. The scientific basis of dental practice, health andcommunity components also continue throughout the year.
Students clinical skills in comprehensive treatment planning will be developed further through the provision of supervised care forpatients in both general dental practice and dental specialities.
Fifth year This is planned as a clinical placements year. Students will undertake a range of placements in the dental hospital and in a range ofcommunity settings, both in public and private practice.
