OUTCOMES :
- Our students have detailed knowledge of medical and clinical subjects in the management of patients with surgical problem.
- All patients with basic oral surgical problems diagnosed and managed.
- They have better understanding about maxillofacial surgery and oral implantology
- they are also educated about legal, ethical and moral issues which are in relation to the patient care and communication skills
- Graduates have skill of examining any problem related to oral surgery in any patient in a systematic way.
- Basic principles of asepsis and sterilization are understood and are practiced.
- Must have sufficient knowledge and ability to perform teeth extractions using local as well as general anaesthesia.
- They are able to perform various minor surgical procedures using local anaesthesia like trans alveolar extraction, dento- alveolar surgery, biopsy, frenectomy and impaction cases.
- As our hospital is fully equipped our students are trained and are able to provide primary care and manage medical emergencies in the dental office.
- They are also familiar with the management of major oral surgical problems and principles involved in the in-patient management as they go to OT’s and ward rounds.
PROGRAM OUTCOMES
There are several methods that can be used to assess subject program outcomes and learning outcomes for undergraduate and postgraduate dental students learning oral and maxillofacial surgery. Here are some examples:
- Written examinations: Written examinations can assess students’ knowledge and understanding of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Questions can cover a range of topics, such as anatomy, physiology, diagnosis, treatment planning, surgical techniques, and postoperative care.
- Clinical assessments: Clinical assessments can evaluate students’ clinical skills in performing oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures. Assessments can include direct observation of students performing procedures, review of case reports and treatment plans, and evaluation of students’ communication and interpersonal skills with patients.
- Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs): OSCEs are a type of clinical assessment that involves a series of stations where students are presented with a simulated patient scenario and are required to perform a specific task or procedure. OSCEs can evaluate students’ clinical skills, knowledge, and communication skills in a standardized and objective manner.
- Portfolios: Portfolios can be used to assess students’ learning outcomes by compiling evidence of their learning over time. Portfolios can include reflective writing, case reports, treatment plans, and clinical logs, among other types of evidence. Portfolios can also be used to facilitate self-reflection and self-assessment.
- Feedback from patients and peers: Feedback from patients and peers can provide valuable insights into students’ clinical skills, communication skills, and professionalism. Feedback can be collected through surveys, focus groups, and structured interviews.
- Assessment of research skills: Assessment of research skills can evaluate students’ ability to critically evaluate research literature, design and conduct research studies, and analyse and interpret research data.
It is important to use a variety of assessment methods to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of students’ subject program outcomes and learning outcomes.
