Graduate Diploma in Clinical Dentistry (Hospital Dentistry)
Graduate Certificate in Clinical Dentistry (Hospital Dentistry)
Course code and overview: EB001 (DClinDent), EF008 (Grad Dip), EG003 (Grad Cert)
The program aims to develop the skills necessary for the non-surgical management of the full range of oral diseases as well as for the care of medically compromised patients in hospital and non-hospital settings. The program develops skills in the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of diseases of the oral mucosa and salivary glands, facial pain and oral manifestations of systematic diseases such as HIV. It provides for the oral health care needs of medically compromised patients, including transplant recipients, in close cooperation with the medical and surgical units of Westmead Hospital. Diagnostic oral and general pathology are integral parts of the program.
The program is aimed at dental graduates preparing for a career in clinical oral medicine. Graduates will be prepared for specialist work within a large general hospital or in a private practice. The training in research will also provide a basis for an academic career, which would involve further research training through a Doctor of Philosophy. Additional training in diagnostic oral pathology would permit work within a diagnostic histo-pathology.
