This course is a companion to NUR 976. It provides directed clinical/practicum experiences designed so the student is able to apply content form NUR 976 through exploring, participating in, and providing leadership related to selected aspects of disaster planning, management, and recovery in a specific community or organization. The instructor will work individually with each student to ensure that the practicum responds to course objectives, the student's goals, and learning needs. This course requires 12 hours per week clinical time.

An elective course that provides students with an opportunity to explore a topic of interest under the direction of a faculty member. The end result should be negotiated between students and faculty and should yield a scholarly product. The minimum number of hours to be spent on the project and the means of evaluation will be decided before beginning the project. May be repeated to a maximum of 12 credits.

This course is a continuation of OBI 650. It is a seminar that uses the scientific literature to review selected biological science topics with emphasis on those especially relevant to dental practice. Lecture: 32 hours.

This course provides in-depth instruction on the physiological mechanisms of body function from the single cell to the organism level. The course is team taught primarily by basic scientists. Teaching methodologies include didactic and Socratic lectures with some dental correlations.

Study of gross and developmental anatomy with particular emphasis on functional anatomy of the head and neck. Lecture/laboratory course, with dissection being an essential component of the laboratory portion.

This course consists of two components: 1) examination, diagnosis, and treatment planning for patients assigned to dental students in general clinics; and 2) an emergency clinic assignment in which the students will diagnose and treat patients with acute oral problems. Clinic, 30 hours.

This course will provide students with the knowledge required to manage medically compromised patients in the outpatient dental office. Basic clinicopathological information about commonly occurring medical disorders, the impact medications that these patients take have, the special problems they have, and their effects on dental health care will be presented. Critical thinking is encouraged so that the students can use their diagnostic skills in the appropriate manner to identify and manage patients with systemic disorders. Lecture, 43 hours; laboratory, 4 hours.
