Clinic Sessions 
Clinical Practice - Adult care (Dental Hygiene) & Paediatric care (Dental Therapy):

There will be paediatric and adult care clinic sessions each week across the 48 week clinical year.  Clinic sessions, locations and tutors may change during the year. Students will be informed of rosters and any changes in advance.

All clinic sessions are compulsory. You may be required to make up missed clinic sessions at nominated times.

Where an excessive number of sessions have been missed (and it is not possible or reasonable to offer make up sessions) the student may be precluded from undertaking final assessments (written assessments).

The course will consist of a range of learning/teaching activities which focus on the following disciplines:
•    Behavioural Science        
•    Orthodontics
•    Conservative Dentistry        
•    Paediatric Dentistry
•    Oral Diagnosis        
•    Dental Materials        
•    Preventive Dentistry    
•    Radiology and Radiography
•    Rural & Remote Practice
•    Periodontics
•    Special Needs
•    Geriatric Dentistry

Radiography

Students need to meet the annual targets for the minimum number of radiographs taken.
For BOH, these targets are: Please note that a minimum of 15-20 panoramic images MUST be taken.

Students should independently review their logbook and note any concerns regarding the number or quality of radiographs taken. Students should raise any concerns with the Coordinator, who will discuss strategies for improvement.

You will be required to hand up your combined and collated BOH2 and BOH3 Radiography Logbooks at the end of the year in order for the University to issue you with a letter to take to the EPA to apply for a Radiography Licence.

Assessment overall consists of two hurdles, see below.

Hurdle 1: Practical component – Paedo practice (Dental therapy)
Performance in clinic (and any simulated clinic) is based on written assessments of performance in clinical and sim clinic sessions over Semester 2 (approx mid-year to the end of the year). Assessment addresses application of knowledge, clinical examination, diagnostic and management skills, practical/technical skills, professional behaviour and interpersonal skills (refer to Clinical Assessment Criteria and Standards Book).

You are responsible for monitoring your own learning and therefore you should be familiar with the Clinical Assessment Criteria and Standards. Clinic and sim clinic tutors provide verbal and written feedback related to the assessment criteria and standards to you during each session to assist your learning and development. You should be proactive with your tutors to seek feedback on your progress. This includes identifying and discussing areas that require improvement and seeking assistance to identify and implement realistic strategies for improvement.

At the end of semester 1, each student receives written feedback regarding the standard of performance achieved during Semester 1. During Semester 2, students will have a face-to-face discussion with their tutor about their clinic learning plans and standard of performance. At the end of semester 2, tutors submit a final written summative assessment of the standard of performance you have achieved in Semester 2 (refer to Clinical Assessment Criteria and Standards Book).

Formative and summative clinic performance in CPIIIOH is based on a criterion-based grading system (E, G, S, B, U) for clinic. These grades are converted to a score that contributes the practical components for the year (see Table 2).

To pass the CPIIIOH course overall you must achieve a satisfactory grade for both your paedo and perio clinic components. The final grade in the Paedo clinical component of CPIIIOH is not just the sum of individual assessments in your self-assessment booklet. These assessments provide feedback to help you with your learning. Your final assessment is based on an overall review of your clinical examination, diagnostic and management skills, practical/technical skills, professional behaviour, and interpersonal skills in the clinic context across the whole academic year. This includes overall professional behaviour, such as attendance and monitoring your own performance.

Formative Assessment

Ongoing feedback on your performance during your assessment tasks is for your benefit and allows you to assess how you are progressing in CP III OH. It also provides the staff with opportunities to monitor your performance, both theoretical and practical. It is your responsibility to incorporate this feedback into your learning.

At around Weeks 14 and 33 (mid-semesters 1 & 2), in both the paedo and adult clinic components, you will have a feedback session with your tutor, who will discuss a formative grade with you, based upon your self- assessment sheets (these formative grades are used for feedback purposes only).

These are designed to give you feedback on your progress, and to provide a scaffold to assist you in identifying areas not yet meeting the required standard and develop approaches for improvement. You should use each source of formative feedback to monitor your own performance and implement strategies to address any issues.

Summative Assessment

Summative assessment 1
At around Week 22 (end semester 1), you will receive a written review of your progress and summative grades will be awarded by the course coordinator towards your final practical grade. Paedo and Adult clinics will have equal weighting. This summative component will be weighted 30% towards your final grade. Students that have not achieved a satisfactory standard will be required to meet with the course coordinators and discuss strategies for improvement.

Summative assessment 2
At the end of semester 2 Week 48 a summative grade will be awarded by the course coordinator towards your final practical grade. Paedo and Adult care clinics will have equal weighting. This summative component will be weighted 70% towards your final grade. However you must reach a satisfactory standard in both Paedo and Adult clinical practice to pass Clinical Practice III OH.

Your community projects and specialist placements are included in the relevant summative clinical practice grade.

Further information about the practical assessment component will be given during class meetings. However, you should be aware that your final grade in the clinical component of Clinical Practice is not just the sum of individual assessments in your self-assessment booklet. These assessments are formative comments and provided to help you with your learning.

It is also important to note that the final assessment for each semester is based upon the standard obtained towards the end of the assessment period. It is not based on an average of the entire semester.

Your final assessment will be based on an overall review of your knowledge, skills, attitudes and professional behaviour in a clinical context. You should discuss your overall performance with your tutors and mentors throughout the year.

As part of the clinical assessments you will be expected to demonstrate satisfactory knowledge of concepts related to work in both Dental & Health Science III OH and Clinical Practice III OH courses. It will test your problem solving abilities and have a strong clinical emphasis.

All written work must be submitted through Turnitin, an plagiarism detection tool.
Further information on submission process and requirements will be available through MyUni.
