Non-CE Related Dental School Question...
I can't be the only one who wears multiple hats at my school, lol. One of my many hats is currently looking into the curriculum of the metriculatedd studetns and wanting to see if they learn how to work with a dental assistant (DAU training). Our school suprisiingly does not teach that currently but did in the past.
My question for you all to reach out and find out if your metriculated dental students learn about four-handed dentistry or any form of training on how to work with a dental assisant?
Ultimatly it kind of is a CE related question beacsue if the students are missing that in the curriculm, the CE departmetn will need offer is as a CE course to make up for the missing training.
Thank you,
Alex
Iowa has a required course that has D4 students working with faculty and dental hygentists. The catalog details are:
FAMD:8482 Dental Auxiliary Utilization 2 s.h. Delivery of comprehensive dental treatment in a simulated group practice clinical setting with chairside dental assistants.
