Description

This is a modern course that aims to facilitate reflective learning, clinical judgments, critical analysis, evidence-based practice and excellent, empathetic clinical care. The didactic course is predominantly seminar based. A tutor will facilitate the seminars but they are student led with approximately 50 seminars over the two years of the course. This means that the students will be expected to present the topic and to critically appraise the literature in the subject area and present this both in writing and verbally. This approach supports the development of inquisitive thinking, deep learning and helps develop judgment.

There will be a programme of lectures in selected topics.

Year 1 students will benefit from a programme of required lectures and seminars where they will join postgraduate students from other disciplines.

Year 2 students will have a lecture programme focused on the management of medically compromised children and the clinical aspects of dental anomalies.

Students will have an average of six clinical sessions each week throughout the two year course. Three or four of these will be for personal patient treatment. The other sessions will include trauma clinics/A&E/multidisciplinary clinics, operative treatment under sedation and general anaesthesia, and weekly consultant clinics.

Students are expected to undertake a research project. This can be laboratory or clinically based. The dissertation accounts for 33.3% of the course and it is hoped that the projects will be presented at national and international conferences and be suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

Overseas students may have the opportunity to undertake supervised clinical practice for a further (third) year by taking a Postgraduate Certificate in Advanced Clinical Dental Practice (60 credits). Details are available on request. This will typically involve 900 hours of clinical practice and 600 hours of non-clinical academic training. Candidates will be invited to apply and will only be eligible on passing the MSc Paediatric Dentistry at first attempt and achieving at least a Merit in the Paediatric Dentistry Clinical module (Part 3).
