PERI 551/552 Periodontics Clerkship I and II
The dental student will participate in management of periodontitis patients and surgical treatment. Treatment of moderate to advanced patients will occur in reserved clerkship clinical slots in the periodontics surgical suite. Emphasis on experience of select traditional periodontal surgical procedures and site development for implantology will occur. The student may have an opportunity to participate in periodontal literature and clinical seminars focusing on all aspects of periodontal therapy, including practice management. A digital portfolio project will be developed, in conjunction with student mentors, specific to the student's desired clinical learning experience. Showcasing of clinical patient outcomes and curating relevant clinical research journal articles are examples of components of this portfolio and will be a means of evaluating the clerk's efforts, accomplishments, progress and achievements of the program. The digital portfolio will function as a means of communication with their mentor and serve as a vehicle for self-assessment and external assessment.
