Summary
The Endodontics programme is designed not only to develop a GDP’s knowledge and skills in Endodontics but also to produce a clinician who is evidence based and reflective in their daily practice through taught elements in reflective practice, critical appraisal of the literature and evidence-based practice during all modules of the programme. Completion of the Masters project component, leading to the award of a Master’s degree in Endodontics will give practitioners skills in question formulation, evidence-searching, critical appraisal and academic writing.
In summary: • The programme will be led by a team of Consultants and Specialists in Restorative dentistry and/or Endodontics and complemented by respected visiting clinicians and educators. • The programme is structured to allow participants to continue their current working commitments while studying at an appropriate pace. • Each module at certificate and diploma stages includes hands-on consultant/specialist led supervision and clinical time to facilitate the demonstration, assimilation and practice of taught surgical techniques. • The course allows diagnosis, treatment planning, patient management and practical clinical techniques to be learnt, underpinned by an appraisal of the evidence base, so that participants gain the skills to practice critically and effectively in their own dental practices. • As well as seminars, tutorials and self-directed learning in context, the programme also includes practical hands on teaching in our state of the art clinical facilities and simulated dental learning environment. • The programme will allow enhanced skills, knowledge, and critical thinking to be developed in Endodontics in the following areas: -
- Diagnosis
- Treatment planning
- Non-surgical and surgical skills
- Management of the medically compromised patient
- Restoration of teeth following endodontic treatment
Clinical and Simulated Dental Learning Environment resources will be utilised outside of the teaching activities of current programmes, and it is envisaged that the majority of this will occur in the new Exeter Facility. Currently, most (circa 80%) Postgraduate teaching days are held in this Facility, using space not required for undergraduate teaching, and this principle will be continued. The remaining teaching sessions will be held in Plymouth.
