This course timetable varies on an annual basis. The course timetable will be delivered at the commencement of the course

The learning outcomes for the year are to provide students with the skills and knowledge to progress into the higher years of the course.

1. Development of the necessary advanced clinical skills expected of a specialist Paediatric Dentist
2. Appreciation of the scientific basis for successful clinical specialist practice
3. Development of scientific and research methodology relating to clinical specialist practice
4. Development research skills related to clinical specialist practice

Ultimately, the learning outcome is to provide students with the abilities to practice independent clinical paediatric dentistry

The outcomes to be acquired are:
GA1 Deep discipline knowledge
GA2 Critical thinking and problem solving
GA3 Teamwork and communication skills
GA4 Career and leadership readiness
GA5 Intercultural and ethical competency
GA6 Self-awareness and emotional intelligence

Scientific journals, 成人大片 Library, Women’s and Children’s Library, MyUni, access to materials to undertake research

Other resources would be recommended by course coordinator and other supervisors during the course

Online learning is not applicable to this course

Teaching and learning will be largely self directed.

Learning & Teaching Modes:

Hands-on clinical sessions, seminars/tutorials,
self-directed learning, prescribed reading, literature reviews, case reports
and case presentations, log book record, ward rounds, department/discipline
case audits and case reviews, research – regular interaction with research
supervisors.

Clinical Experience: The clinical component provides experience within the
discipline of Paediatric Dentistry. Clinical sessions occur at the Department
of Paediatric Dentistry, Women's and Children's Hospital and at the SA Dental
Service. Sessions consist of Specialist Consultation Clinics, Specialist Recall
Clinics, Outpatients Treatment Clinics, Inpatient Theatre Sessions, Ward
rounds, On call and after hours clinical expereinces and other clinically
related activities which form part training programme.

Coursework: Through reading, tutorials, didactic seminars, interdisciplinary
clinics, medical seminars and case discussions students will gain knowledge and
understanding in the areas of patient examination, assessment, diagnosis,
treatment planning and overall management of patients in paediatric dentistry.

This is a full-time course with after hours on-call clinical component

ASSESSMENT OF THE STRUCTURED PROGRAM
The assessment of this component of the programme is composed of the following:

Formative Review:
The emphasis of this program is self-motivated learning and evaluation. However, regular formative review is also held with senior teaching and clinical staff.
Postgraduate students are assessed continuously throughout their training. Assessment reviews clinical case mix, amount of clinical experience and standard of patient care. Deficient areas are discussed with clinical supervisors and remedied together with the postgraduate student. In addition, there are regular short 30 minute test papers and/or viva voce-style assessments aimed at consolidating the clinical topics covered previously.
In all years, students are assessed on a continuing basis in the conduct of their clinical activities, patient management, treatment planning, case report presentation, presentations of patient seen in the clinics and the log book. Clinical assessment will include pre-operative, peri-operative and post-operative management in lines with the specialist discipline and established guidelines on the overall management of paediatric dentistry patients.

Summative Assessment:
Students will receive continuous assessment of their clinical work, clinical case presentations and log book. These form the overall clinical assessment and led to the clinical barrier written examinations and viva voce examinations at the end of each semester.

Achievement Case Reports:
Twelve “achievement” case presentations are required at the end of the 3rd year.
These “achievement” cases are cases selected by the student to highlight their achievements during the program and the range of cases managed. The principle of the “achievement” cases is to ensure a broad range of clinical cases is obtained and treatment is provided and supported by current research and literature. During each semester, students will be expected to prepare and present their clinical achievement cases. There is an expectation that students present five to six clinical cases each semester, the most comprehensive of these will be included in the “twelve achievement cases” submitted for their final assessment in third year. These case reports will be assessed based on the presentation style, pre-operative, peri-operative and post-operative management. In addition, appropriate literature to support their respective management of each case.

Portfolio/Logbook Requirements:
Students will complete a comprehensive logbook of patients in accordance with the Guidelines for Accreditation and Training in Paediatric Dentistry, 2010. The patient logbook is computerised and satisfies the requirements of the Dental Board of Australia and other registering authorities overseas such as the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons. The logbook will serve as a reference of the relative clinical case mix of patients seen; treatments performed and will aid continual assessment of each postgraduate. The registrar logbooks will be audited at the end of each semester. This process will aid in the clinical experience all postgraduate students receive and to expose the postgraduate students to a wide variety of cases. The logbook will also form part of the clinical assessment for each semester and will form part of their overall assessment during their final examination in October/November of the third year.

Assignments / Presentations:
In each semester there are a series of traditional didactic teaching seminars, as well as fortnightly departmental / discipline meetings. Students will be required to present comprehensive reviews of selected topics as directed on their individual didactic roster, and departmental / discipline meetings. Students will be assessed on their ability to review the literature and prepare an appropriately written, referenced literature review related to the specific topic. In addition, students are expected to present their review in the form of a power point presentation. Both the literature review and the power point presentation will be assessed. A fail in a specific component of the review will result in the need for the student to repeat this until the appropriate standard is achieved. At the conclusion of the review, a viva voce session, or short written assessment may be held to ensure that the topic is fully understood by all students involved. The end of semester examination will assess the specific topics from that semester. In following semesters, examinations will include all relevant information covered by the student to provide a continuous assessment of knowledge related to paediatric dentistry.

Examinations:
Comprehensive internal written and oral examinations are held at the completion of each semester (exceptions to this will be at the direction of the programme director). In each semester there is a three hour written examination, one hour oral examination and one hour presentation of their log book and achievement case reports. These examinations will serve as a barrier examination and failure to pass this will require a supplementary examination, repeating of that semester or year, or withdrawal of the candidate from the programme. During the final year in October/November of the 3rd year, a comprehensive external examination will be conducted. Students must complete the examination satisfactorily before proceeding to the next semester. All second semester examinations and the final examination will be conducted jointly between an external examiner and programme director.

Summary:
In order to fulfil the requirements for this course, the student will need to have satisfactorily completed all components of the program.

The submission of a research thesis occurs at the end of the programme
