Dentistry Curriculum HMU - 2

Hawler Medical University
College of Dentistry
Scientific Curriculum
Introduction:
The curriculum has been designed and modified over the years to
reflect the changing needs of the dental students and dental profession.
Our goal is to develop dental practitioners who are able to utilize the
basic principles of human biology and human behavior
behavior with their
technical skills in diagnosing, treating, and preventing oral disease.
STRATEGY AND AIMS:
The evolution of biotechnology and biomedical sciences in general,

together with new developments in the knowledge and technology of
dental sciences has generated such a volume of new knowledge that it is
practically impossible to maintain the currency of traditional curricula
(i.e. where education is based on teaching independent subjects).
It has become evident that traditional curricula and traditional

tradit
methodologies of teaching, e.g. those based upon lectures and acquisition
of knowledge by rote, are not effective in the fostering of learning habits
that instill a culture of self-directed
self learning, which is so
Necessary in the current knowledge society

society and especially for health
care providers.
The solution lies in the introduction of flexibility in curricular models

and in the need to integrate basic, medical and dental sciences both
vertically and horizontally. This should inspire students to become
beco life-
1
long learners and to continue the process of knowledge acquisition for
evidence-based practice throughout their professional lives.
THE OPTIMUM CURRICULA
To attempt to solve the problem of curricular overload, a core

curriculum is proposed where content and competences that are
fundamental to the accomplishment of the agreed professional profile and
learning outcomes are defined. By providing a core curriculum plus a
catalogue of dental electives all dental graduates should achieve a wide-
ranging core of clinical education in order to allow them to meet the
requirements for competence as established in the profile. At the same
time, there should be some freedom to study diverse topics that will allow
them to explore areas of particular interest in greater depth. Health
professionals should engage in a broad academic education embracing
topics beyond the field of dentistry to better understand their role in
society.
PRIMARY RECOMMENDATIONS - CURRICULUM

CONTENT
1. The content of the dental curriculum should directly be related and

contribute to the Profile and Competences for the Dentist.
2. College should ensure that the content of the curriculum is evidence

based and reflects current best practice throughout the entire program.
2
3. Early contact between patients and dental students should take
place. In particular, it is necessary in first or second-year dental students
to have some contact with patients.
4. Effective infection control should be integral to all clinical activity
5. Integrated patient care should be a fundamental part of the clinical

education
6. A research project should be an integral part of the dental

curriculum.
7. Basic and biomedical subjects should be learned in an integrated

manner.
8. Education including hands-on training in basic life support skills

should be compulsory, repeated and assessed.
SECONDARY RECOMMENDATIONS -
CURRICULUM CONTENT
1. The study of medical and other conditions that have relevance for
dentists in their treatment of patients should be strengthened.
2. Education in the behavioural and social sciences is advocated in

order to ensure that dentists communicate effectively with their patients,
team members and other health professionals.
3. Education in dental public health, preventive and community

dentistry is advocated
4. An integrated approach to education in ethics and professional

conduct is recommended
3
5. Practice management, and information and computer technology
(ICT) should be included in the curriculum
6. There should be increasing emphasis on team work with some

elements of integration between the educational programs for the
different dental team members
7. It is desirable that electives should form an integral part of the

undergraduate Curriculum.
