Use of School of Dentistry Facilities After Graduation Policy

GRADUATES OF THE DOCTOR OF DENTAL SURGERY AND DENTAL HYGIENE PROGRAMS

Recent graduates periodically request clinical privileges and/or permission to work in the pre-clinical laboratories after graduation. In the vast majority of cases, these individuals need to screen patients or practice manikin exercises for various licensing boards. The School of Dentistry would like to honor as many requests as possible, but the School must ensure patient safety, act in accordance with University policy, and guarantee that the institution and the graduates are protected in matters of liability.

The following guidelines must be followed to use the facilities:

Summer Session

1. Only requests of UMB School of Dentistry graduates without Maryland licensure will be considered.
2. Graduates must submit an application through Admissions and Student Affairs and register with the Office of Academic Affairs as special students.
3. Fees will be determined by the administration. In most cases, School of Dentistry and University fees will be waived for individuals who receive a May diploma.
4. Graduates must report to their former GP manager if they wish to screen or treat patients. If patient treatment is required, graduates must contact the appropriate department chair for assignment to supervising faculty.
5. All patients must be registered and screened in accordance with normal screening procedures.
6. School of Dentistry faculty must supervise all screening and clinical procedures. Fees for patient treatment must be charged, in accordance with the predoctoral clinical fee schedule.
7. Graduates may practice on their own typodonts with faculty supervision. Manikin rods may be checked out from the prep-dispense areas, but no materials (acrylic, burs, etc.) will be provided by the School.
8. May graduates cannot use the School after July 31st. The official Fall Semester begins August 1 of each year.

Fall and Spring Semesters

1. Only requests of UMB School of Dentistry graduates without Maryland licensure will be considered.
2. Graduates must submit an application through Admissions and Student Affairs and register with the Office of Academic Affairs as special students.
3. Fees will be determined by administration. In most cases, University fees must be paid, but School of Dentistry tuition and fees will not be assessed.
