ORAL MEDICINE AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:
This course is designed to enhance students’ competency in assessment
and management of medically complex patients. Using a case-based approach,
students will independently assess the medical and dental aspects of
selected patients, review medications, potential drug interactions,
and generate mock preparations. Competency assessment will include student
presentations of case reviews to peers and faculty group leaders. This
advanced course builds on knowledge gained from courses DEN6262 and
DEN6260.
