This full-year clinical/didactic course is offered through the Division of Paediatric Dentistry, Department of Dental Clinical Sciences. Throughout the course, students will be expected to apply didactic and clinical knowledge acquired in previous years to the diagnosis, treatment planning, and management of paediatric patients. Practical experience will be gained through rotations at the Harbour View School Clinic in Dartmouth and the North Preston Community Oral Health Clinic. Lecture topics will include a series regarding dental considerations for patients with special health care needs. Topics will include (but are not limited to) Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, oncology, cardiology, hematology, neuromuscular disorders. The emphasis will be on practical clinical management of paediatric/adolescent patients with and without special healthcare needs. Assignments, quizzes and examinations are cumulative (all material from years 1-4) unless otherwise stated, so students can apply what they’ve learned throughout their paediatric dental education to potential patient situations.
