In this course, students will prepare for clinical dental practice by being introduced to important concepts and developing skills required for the provision of effective dental care.

Students are also provided with their initial clinical exposure to the nature of oral health and disease. All of these concepts are developed and reinforced through the use of readings, pre-clinical, and clinical assignments that require integration of the concepts and effective demonstration of these skills as they apply to patient care. In addition, students will practice conducting a health history interview with a standardized patient.
