Dental Hygiene Refresher

3 credits · Professional

DEHY 4000 is designed as a refresher course for dental hygiene graduates who have been licensed to practice in Canada. This course will consist of an on- line pre-study component and a clinical component. The pre-study component will support participants as they prepare for the clinical portion of the course. Participants will review and be involved in several learning activities related to professionalism, ethics, jurisprudence, and the dental hygiene process of care. The clinical portion of the refresher course will consist of instruction, continuous assessment and evaluation of students’ knowledge, and performance of pre- clinical and clinical procedures. Participants will spend the first portion of the clinical component completing pre-clinical instrumentation review and will move to clinical delivery of dental hygiene care for the second portion of the clinical component caring for clients with progressively challenging care needs. Both a five-day and a ten-day clinical course will be offered depending on the learning needs of the participant.
