Comprehensive Orofacial Pain Treatment Planning Seminar

This 12-month course is similar in structure to OFP 700, however each session is a unique experience since every session introduces different patients with different pain issues. Repeating these experiences adds greatly to the student's educational experiences. In OFP 702 the second year student is more capable of contributing to the discussion by introducing his/her experiences to the case. This exposes the student to even a greater variety of orofacial pain problems, to identify and discuss important aspects of history taking and examinations and to critically assess the need for additional information. The student will demonstrate proficiency in presenting his/her new patient seen that morning to fellow students, orofacial pain faculty and psychology faculty. The student will formally present the detail findings in the case and defend a treatment strategy. The second-year student will contribute to the presentation of the first year students drawing on his/her experiences. More dynamic alternative treatment options will be discussed by the entire group. Input from peers and attending faculty, the students will gain experiences in diagnosing and treatment planning a wide variety of orofacial pain patients.
