DEN 902: Special Needs Rotation 2

Class Program
Credits 1

During SNR 2, dental students will complete clinical rotations to gain experience assessing and providing care to individuals not routinely seen in general practice, such as pediatric patients with or without disabilities, patients with psychiatric or neurological disabilities, economically challenged patients, assisted living patients, and patients with a cultural or language barrier. A rotation block will consist of Tuesday (AM/PM), Wednesday (AM) and Thursday (AM/PM). Each student-pair will be scheduled for 3 rotation blocks during the year. Student-pairs will perform diagnostic workups, develop treatment plans, and provide basic care as directed by the faculty. A standardized competency assessment instrument will be used to measure student performance. Successful completion of SNR 2 will be required for graduation.
