This course builds on student experience in general dental practice and the specialist dental disciplines. Students will develop their skills and competence in history taking, assessment, recognition, diagnosis, care planning and aspects of management for conditions commonly managed within the dental specialties including prosthodontics, endodontics, paediatric dentistry and orthodontics. Students will begin to acquire clinical skills and competence in multi-disciplinary care of adults with moderately complex needs. Each week students will undertake approximately 9 hours of clinical patient care including provision of care, dental assisting, observations and lab work, and 6 - 9 hours of competency building activities such as lectures, seminars, problem-based learning, workshops, self-directed activities, pre-clinical simulation exercises and lab work. This course assumes approximately 3 hours of self-directed learning each week.
This course introduces students to advanced specialist discplines within general dental practice. Students build on skills from year 3 in a range of specialist disciplines essential to expanding thier clinical knowledge and competency in multi-disciplinary care of adults with moderately complex needs and the care of children, and gain some experience with special needs patients.

2. Scientific knowledge and Clinical Information Gathering
3. Critical Thinking, Diagnosis and Management Planning
4. Clinical Treatment and Evaluation
To achieve a pass, the criteria are as follows:
All domains are weighted equally, and the student must achieve a pass in each domain, and an overall pass.
- A pass in each domain will involve a student receiving 2 or fewer "expectations not met" (ENM) mark in Domain 1, and no more than one "expectation not met" (ENM) in Domains 2-4.
- An overall pass for the report will involve a student receiving 4 or fewer "expectations not met" (ENM) mark across the 4 domains.
Please note:
