You will be required to attend an oral examination which will be scheduled in the examination period.

With the support of a Power Point presentation, you will be required to present an in-depth case report for either a child, adolescent or adult patient whom you have provided dental treatment for in the student clinics. It is recommended that you include de-identified clinical photos and x-rays of your patient and his/her study model, if appropriate. Each case report must include justification for the way you have managed the treatment and prevention strategies.

The child, adolescent or adult patient needs to have presented with hard tissue pathology (dental caries), requiring you to treatment plan and justify the appropriate treatment modalities. Your treatment plan must include the determinants of oral health for your patient, i.e. a focus on the developmental stages of the patient, in particular relating this to the way your clinical and home treatment and preventive strategies are planned and managed.

OR

A child, adolescent or adult patient who has presented with soft tissue pathology (periodontitis) and/or hard tissue pathology (dental caries) and/or a medical condition which may or may not impede on the treatment you can provide. You are required to treatment plan and justify the appropriate treatment modalities. Your treatment plan must include the determinants of oral health for your patient, i.e. consideration of the social and cognitive abilities of the patient, in particular, you need to relate this to the way your clinical and home treatment and preventive strategies are planned and managed.

Referencing:

A reference slide for the discussion section must cover all aspects of oral care provided, in relation to the points made above. References will be both in-text and in reference list at the end of the PowerPoint presentation. https://www.cqu.edu.au/student-life/services-and-facilities/referencing/cquniversity-referencing-guides

Questions and Comments:

At the end of your presentation, you will be asked a short series of clinical questions by a small panel (3) of examiners. They will also comment on what you have said and how you have presented the case presentation.

Rationale:

The learning objectives you will be assessed on are:

• be able to critically appraise published scientific literature and apply the relevant knowledge to oral health practice

• be able to apply entry level proficiencies in all scopes of oral health therapy practice with emphasis on prevention skills in performing an extensive range of treatment and preventive procedures within the   scope of the oral health practitioner.

• be able to identify and apply the appropriate requirements of special needs clients within the oral health setting

• be able to assess and implement critical preventive strategies for high need communities including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities be able to demonstrate entry level skill in working cooperatively with dental and allied health care professionals to meet the holistic needs of the patient

• be able to apply advanced educational, preventative and therapeutic oral health care

• be able to consistently demonstrate clinical proficiency in all areas of oral health practice.

• be able to demonstrate professional behaviour and attitudes at a level ready to be registered as a health professional in all learning environments including the patient and simulation clinics.

Presentation:

You will be required to present an in-depth case report for either a child, adolescent or adult patient with the support of a PowerPoint presentation. Please bring your presentation with you on a memory stick – do not bring a laptop or tablet and do not use an external hosting site. Please make sure that your presentation is compatible with the CQUniversity Windows operating system. You should include clinical photos of your patient and a study model if appropriate. The study model must have the patient's real name and date of birth written on the back for correct storage. The study models MUST NOT leave the dental building, and be left with clinical staff immediately following the viva examination. The patient must be one that you have provided dental treatment for at some stage in the patient clinic and the identification of the patient MUST BE anonymous in your presentation. Failure to comply with keeping the identification of your patient anonymous is in breach of patient privacy and will result in a fail grade for this assessment. You must also have a slide at the beginning of the presentation which states a declaration that you have accessed the dental records in keeping with CQUniversity and Queensland Health clinic protocols, and the copy of the records will be destroyed. You must leave these pages with academic staff to deposit in the shredding bins. You must engage with, and look at, the examiners – reading from large notes with little or no eye contact is unacceptable.

Requirements:

You are required to present a case presentation to a panel of examiners for up to 15 minutes with a variation of 1-minute more. At completion of your oral presentation, the examiners will question you on a selection of clinical content relevant overall to oral health therapy practice, but not limited to the case you've presented. The panel will consist of three CQUniversity academics / clinical supervisors. This Term 1 assessment task will assist you in preparing for the Term 2 assessment.

Assistance:

For assistance with this task, please look at the information available on the Academic Learning Centre’s website – http://www.cqu.edu.au/about-us/service-and-facilities/academic-learning-centre

The assessment criteria for your case presentation is included on the marking sheet. The assessment criteria for the

case presentation will be the similar to that utilised in Term 2 in ORAL13002 Oral Health Clinical Placement 2.

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based

on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an

overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the Unit. You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a

particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section in order to pass the unit overall.

The Clinical Workbook / Online Real-time Assessment System is a record of patients treated across a variety of settings - the CQUniversity Private Health Clinic,CQUniversity Public Health Clinic, the Sub-acute Chronic Care Rehabilitation (SACCR) Health Clinic for Intake, school dental clinics, residential care facilities, private general and specialist dental practices and hospital settings. The Clinical Workbook /

Online Real-time Assessment System also contains a record of oral health education and promotion activities, and fabricated prosthetic appliances such as fabricated mouthguards and whitening trays.

The assessment criteria for the exercises undertaken in Clinical Workbook /Online Real-time Assessment System will be consistent with the Assessment Rubric for Evaluation Of Student Performance of Clinical Procedures included in the Clinical Workbook - it is similar to that utilised in ORAL13002 Oral Health Clinical Placement 2 in Term 2. The assessment criteria includes Self and PeerEvaluation, Student Reflective Practice, Prosthetic Assessment Performance Criteria and Clinical Assessment Performance Criteria.

Clinical Supervisors are required to complete assessment and feedback for students in their Clinical Workbooks and complete a summary sheet for each student they have been assigned. Attendance is compulsory - students need to be present at every on- and off-campus clinical, community or educational placement. If you are absent, you must obtain a Medical Certificate and hand or email this to the Unit Coordinator. Moreover, you need to seek approval by the Unit Coordinator prior to any planned absence from any on- or off-campus clinical, community or educational placement. Furthermore, all absences must be made up at operational convenience before the end of the term.

The assessment criteria will take into account all time (hours or days) lost during the term - this includes sick leave with a

medical certificate, leave negotiated with the Unit Coordinator in advance and leave with no supporting evidence.

Furthermore, all absences must be made up at operational convenience before the end of the term.

A Pass for satisfactory attendance is defined as maintaining as fulfilling the 100% attendance record.

A Pass/Fail result will be determined from information entered on the summary sheets.
