CDENT 5145 - HEALTH PROMOTION AND DISEASE PREVENTION 2

Minimum Credits: 2
Maximum Credits: 2
In this course, students will prepare for their first clinical experience in the Adolescent Clinic in the summer term. Students explore concepts in health promotion and disease prevention and behavioral principles related to clinical practice. Students continue to examine the nature of oral health and disease. All of these concepts are developed and reinforced through the use of readings, online and in-class exercises, pre-clinical and clinical assignments, and oral and written presentation of a case that requires integration of the concepts and effective demonstration of the skills as they apply to patient care. The goals of the course are to prepare the student for clinical dental practice by introducing important concepts and developing skills required for the provision of effective dental care; to introduce students to ethical and behavioral principles related to clinical practice; and to provide students with their first exposure to the nature of oral health and disease.
