This course emphasizes clinical application of the principles taught in preclinical courses. Concepts of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures as well as preventive measures are applied in the clinic with emphasis on the demonstration of competency in rendering primary care type treatment procedures.
This lecture/preclinical course in operative dentistry is a continuation of RSD 810 and is designed to provide students with additional knowledge and hand skills for operative dentistry. This course is designed to continue educating the student regarding the diagnosis and treatment planning of oral health conditions. This course will teach the student additional tooth preparations and restorations and will expand upon restorative material choices for operative dentistry.
The clinical elective is a four-week rotation that allows the student to obtain in-depth exposure to radiation oncology with an expert preceptor (s) at a regional hospital. The student will experience the day-to-day activities of this specialty in the outpatient setting.
Applied field work at the graduate level in the sciences relating to radiation medicine. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits.
Independent study for graduate students interested in specific interdisciplinary topics in Rehabilitation and Health Sciences. May be repeated to a maximum of 21 credits.
In-depth study of a discipline specific topic under the direction of a member of the graduate faculty. Emphasis on scientific method including development of a research question, methodology, data collection and analysis. Students will complete a supervised research project during the course. Variable credit hours repeatable to a maximum of 21 credit hours.
