DEN 801: Clinical Oral Health Care

COHC is a year-long clinical course during which dental students apply the knowledge, values, and skills learned in the first-year curriculum to the tasks of patient care. During patient care, dental student pairs progressively build their skills to deliver urgent and routine comprehensive dental care for patients efficiently and compassionately, working under the direct supervision of LCSDM clinical faculty. Student pairs are assessed utilizing standardized formative assessments addressing five educational domains: 1) Critical Thinking and Application of Basic and Behavioral Science Knowledge, 2) Professionalism, 3) Communication and Interpersonal Skills, 4) Practice Management and Administration, and 5) Patient Care. Successful completion of COHC is required to progress to the D3 year.
