General Information

Overview

In this capstone unit you will integrate your knowledge, skills and professional experience in a range of environments in preparation for employment as an oral health therapist. In addition to treating children and adolescents, this course is approved by the National Board to train and educate you to treat adults of all ages. You will be required to attend a two-week compulsory intensive / residential school prior to the commencement of clinical placement. You will have the opportunity to demonstrate safety and competence in total patient care over a range of preventive and operative clinical procedures with patients including those who are medically compromised, with special needs and the elderly. You will also consolidate your clinical judgment skills in identifying patients who require referral for complex care outside your scope of practice. You will improve your clinical reasoning skills in a supportive environment aimed to increase your confidence through reflective and self-directed learning. On successful completion of this unit you will be able to communicate information regarding oral health in oral and written forms utilising appropriate interpersonal and team communication skills, professional attitudes and ethical behaviours.
