The objective of this subject of the last year of the degree programme is to provide the student with a “clinical practicum” which will allow him or her to improve skills in both the diagnosis of the different oral pathologies studied during the degree programme, and the application of the different treatments.
Prior to enrolment, the prospective student must have passed the following fourth-year subjects:
Restorative Clinical Dentistry 1
Restorative Clinical Dentistry 2
Prosthodontics 3
Prosthodontics 4
To improve the clinical practice of the students in their performance of a proper anamnesis and clinical exploration of the patient, and in their use of the different complementary tests.
Students will be able to gather all the information in a clinical record in an organised manner, with knowledge of how to discern relevant information from information of lesser importance.
To help students acquire clinical practice skills for patients, whether special needs patients or not, whether adults and children, when treating the most common symptoms of the different specialist areas, so that students are qualified to provide comprehensive essential dental clinical care.
To train students in the treatment of dental emergencies and in the prescription of appropriate drugs.
hours of integrated clinical practice on patients in the facilities of the University Dental Clinic.
hours of seminars, in which the student will work on clinical cases and review treatment protocols.
Clinical practice monitored by the lecturer in charge.
Clinical seminars.
Presentation at clinical congresses and symposia for students.
1-Seminars
Attendance at seminars is compulsory for all students. In case of 2 unexcused absences or more than 3 even if they are justified, it will be considered as not approved.
At the end of the seminars, the instructor will average all the marks obtained by the student. The grade obtained will be over 10 and will weigh 10 percent of the total grade for the course.
2- Clinical Practices:
Attendance at preclinical practices is compulsory for all students.
A system has been established in which students' theoretical knowledge, attitudes and clinical skills are assessed through continuous assessment:
NOTE 1: Evaluate the Treatment according to the following criteria: (60% of the mark)
1. Knowledge of clinical protocols
2. Compliance with CUO protocols
3. Teamwork
4. Clinical ability
Note 2: Evaluate the General Attitude according to the following criteria: (20% of the grade)
1. Deal with the patient and other CUO staff.
2. Punctuality
3. Presence
4. Order
5. Communication with the patient
Each day of CUO, the instructor evaluates the practice carried out at that time by the student, detailing the type of treatment performed, numerically scoring the treatment on the one hand and the student's attitude on the other. It also indicates whether the student has been absent or late that day.
The final grade for the course is the weighted sum of the grade for the clinical practices, the seminars and the presentation of the Clinical Case Book (80%, 10%, 10%).
Likewise, the presentation by the student of some communication in dental congresses will also have an influence on the final grade, being positively valued in their final grade for the quarter (0.5 points on the final grade for the semester or 1 point on the grade). end of the semester if you were the winner or published an article in a sector magazine)
RECOVERY SUSPENDED PRACTICES
All students suspended in the clinic are entitled to a 2nd call to be made before the closing of the minutes of the CUO grades (September of the current year).
ABSENCES AND PUNCTUALITY
As we have previously commented, attendance is compulsory. Failure to attend clinical practices prevents the student from developing and expressing their clinical skills on patients.
Absences:
You can only miss Three times a semester with justification; being recoverable during the semester exam period. Said justifications must be official and not be issued by a direct family member.
If the absences are not excused, it implies a suspension of the semester practices. These practices will be recovered at the Summer Clinic (June to September). The student will adapt to the dates (period) and weeks (number of practices) determined by the coordination of the Integrated Clinic Area.
From Four or more absences (Excused) implies the recovery of the same in the summer period (June to September) to be agreed (number and weeks) by the Coordination of the Integrated Clinic Area.
Regarding the subjects that average with CUO: The students who have had more absences than allowed (> 3) and their average of CUO is approved, a NO Presented (NP) will be recorded in the report card of 1st call, waiting for him to recover these practices on 2nd call.
In these cases, the theoretical note (if approved) will be kept until the 2nd call to be able to make the final average and indicate it in the 2nd call record.
Puntuality:
The student is assigned a schedule, so they must be 10 minutes before starting, in order to prepare everything related to the patient. Only a maximum tolerance of 10 minutes is accepted. A longer delay will be considered non-attendance, which implies that the student must make up the practice in the exam week, without prejudice to the patient named that day (they must attend to it).
In the event that the patient does not come to the visit, the student must remain in CUO and carry out the Laboratory tasks or they may have assigned an emergency. The instructor may give you permission to leave 20 minutes before the end of your CUO schedule.
In case the student finishes his treatment prematurely, he must remain in CUO fulfilling his practice schedule, the instructor may give him permission to leave 20 minutes before the end of his schedule in CUO.
In all these cases, if the student leaves earlier or is absent during their CUO hours, it will also be considered non-attendance.
Within the evaluation of the student's attitude, apart from punctuality, we should comment on the cases in which that attitude is so negative that it is classified as a very serious, serious or mild offense and involves not only a low grade but also some type of sanction that It is detailed on the UIC intranet in Forums / CUO / Materials / Regulations CUO.
