Wow dent guy, finally a differing opinion. Any more insight?
I will give you more insight. Last year we learnt that cells had mitochondria.

Wow dent guy, finally a differing opinion. Any more insight?
The first year is terrible with little to no actual dental exposure
subjects were the equivalent of year 11/12 content.
Not true.
Hi Guys,
Is there like a course list on GU's website telling you what you are expeceted to study each year? I couldn't find it myself..
When will the clinical practices come in place? (Around in which year?)
After talking to an agent..I actually think I have a chance at GU next year. Love to learn more about the course myself!
So for other dent schools such as UQ or JCU, they'll expose to clinical practices at an ealier time?
Thanks
JCU, CSU, UQ & UWA introduce simulation clinic training in first year. I think La Trobe as well. Not sure.
I see..JCU, CSU, UQ & UWA introduce simulation clinic training in first year. I think La Trobe as well. Not sure.
I see..
Hmm..then will the length of simulation clinic traning be all the same for all of the dent schools across Aus. be the same? (Like, you might not get clinic traning first year, then does that mean you'll get more in the second year or third year ect.?)
I know people like to get more exposed to clinical work ASAP to get more use to it over time, but what are some disadvantages not getting exposed to clinical work in the first year?
Fair enough. I kind of think a period of concentrated clinical training is also good..I kind of like cramping myself..lol..Whilst Dentistry requires a lot of theoretical understanding, in the end the job entails high levels of manual dexterity and motor control. The early you can get exposure the better as it allows you a greater period of time to refine those skills.
You can know everything there is to perform a procedure, how to treat a certain disease but if you don't have the skills to apply that knowledge you can never be a competent dentist.

Yes, and Adelaide. Got a funny feeling the OP was referring to griff though as this is a griff thread.

With regards to the new simodont system, some claim that they are better than phantom heads. Is this true? Its quite hard to believe as phantom heads are essentially more realistic. What other universities use simodont besides Griffith?
Wouldn't they be using a combination of phantom heads and simodont so you wouldn't be missing out on anything and would rather be gaining a whole new experience that you wouldn't get otherwise.
This news article seems to say 3 unis are trialing them. Are Griffith the only ones to actually go ahead with them for all students?

That is true but I think the simodont is replacing certain simulation procedures traditionally done on phantom heads rather than students being taught the same procedure on both phantom heads and simodontWouldn't they be using a combination of phantom heads and simodont so you wouldn't be missing out on anything and would rather be gaining a whole new experience that you wouldn't get otherwise.
