Method of learning teaching
Method of learning. In keeping with the educational approach used in our programme, student learning is based on the principles of problem-based learning. Clinical problems presented to the students in the clinical setting and in the study groups need explanations on different levels. As for the development of clinical competence, clinical skills relevant for the diagnosis and treatment of the oral disease or condition in question are practised within this specific context. Training of the specific clinical procedures in a skills-lab setting always precedes such clinical practice. Gradually the students develop competence to handle clinical situations with increasing complexity. During the last three semesters the students are expected to give oral health care to patients and handle clinical situations with a high complexity in a comprehensive care setting.
