For dentists and other graduates wishing to pursue a career in dental public health, oral epidemiology and health promotion in either service or university settings, the programme offers supervised experience in the theory and practice of dental public health and the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge and skills. It can contribute to a three year specialist training programme in Dental Public Health. Programme completion offers eligibility to enter the Diploma in Dental Public Health examination of the Royal College of Surgeons (England).
Assessment You are assessed on a modular basis. The assessment procedures vary between each module and include written papers, in which three questions will be answered from a choice, long essays, drafting study protocols, proposing a solution to oral health needs and a critical review of a published paper using appropriate criteria. One third of your final grade is through your completion of a 20,000 word project report. You will also take part in an oral examination based on your project report.
