The program is divided into two principal components:

1. Structured Program
Research methods, experimental design and ethics
Coursework - Clinical experience; Professional development

2. Research
Research seminars; Research training; Research project.

Tutorials/seminars 3 x 2 = 6 hours

Pathology Case Review/Reporting 65 x 3 = 195 hours

Weekly reading/other study 13 x 8 = 97.5 hours

Structured Program

A series of lectures, seminars and workshops that provide an introduction to research literature, research methods, critical
thought, management of research data, ethics and other topics that are needed to undertake research training. This part of the programme is presented in an intensive block followed by a series of seminars during the first six months of the program.

Coursework
Through reading, tutorials, seminars and case discussions students will gain knowledge and understanding in the areas of patient examination, assessment and pathological assessment and diagnosis. Students will also participate in a range of interdisciplinary activities with students from other specialist areas.

Seminars: two diagnostic oral histopathology seminars weekly (where possible in collaboration with Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Registrars and Special Needs Dentistry )

Laboratory and Clinical Rotations: rotations in laboratories at SA Pathology (where possible from second year of the program);rotations in Oral Maxillofacial Surgery Outpatient Clinics, ADH (from second year of the program); attendance at the Head and Neck Clinic, RAH where possible Related Activities; individual histopathology tuition; essays; assignments; seminars on core topics in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology; teaching sessions with undergraduates

Access to clinics and laboratories may require credentialing and police checks.

Students will be involved in undertaking a major research component to this course, relevant to their field of interest within the discipline. All students will work in a small discovery and inquiry based team environment under the guidance of a researcher/expert in the discipline of oral and maxillofacial pathology.

Assessment of the Structured Program in Specialist Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology involves:
Continuous evaluation of performance by staff, satisfactory attendance at and participation in research seminars, regular attendance at research meetings with supervisors, satisfactory progress with research project, evaluation of assigned essays and seminars, completion of logbooks documenting oral and general pathology cases, submission of casebook of 10 cases (see
below),written and practical diagnostic oral histopathology examinations (including case discussion with examiners).

End of 1st year: 2 hour written examination.

End of 2nd year: 3 hour practical examination in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology plus 1 hour discussion of cases with examiner

End of 3rd year: 3 hour practical examination in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology. Satisfactory progress will be assessed based on completion of goals set at the beginning of the candidature including satisfactory completion of examinations.

Casebook: Each case will comprise discussion and clinicopathological correlation of selected oral and (at least 1) general pathology cases. Each report will be no more than 10 pages (single spaced type) and include a bibliography of up to 30 references.  Each report will include high quality photographs or illustrations (as appropriate) of macroscopic and microscopic findings as well as include a critical appraisal the cited literature.

Assessment of the Research Component involves:
Completion of the Core Component of Structured Program
Annual Review of Progress
Major Review of Progress
External examination of the thesis.

The final assessment is external examination of the degree by conventional thesis (traditional formation or thesis by publication) or portfolio. The thesis by publication will include a literature review, final manuscripts of two papers describing the results of a research project in a format suitable for publication, and an over-arching discussion.

Satisfactory progress will be assessed based on completion of goals set at the beginning of the candidature including satisfactory completion of examinations
