University of Kentucky

Subject:

Description:

The American Dental Association’s Principles of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct state that the dentist has a “primary duty of service to the public”. The Dental Public Health Curriculum is designed to prepared students to assume this obligation. The student will acquire a basic understanding of the scientific method through course work in epidemiology, research design, and evaluation of scientific literature. This basis of knowledge will provide the basis for the planning and evaluation of community based preventive dental programs. The student will understand the dental delivery system and the variety of financing mechanisms that are available to meet the dental needs of specific population groups. To provide a framework for the dental student’s professional development, the instructional content in dental public health will be coordinated with CDE 841 (Community Based Dental Education), helping the student to prepare for the extramural learning experience. Prereq: Admission to the College of Dentistry or consent of course directo
