Evidence-based Dentistry III

3 credits · Professional

This course builds on the skills developed in Evidence-Based Dentistry II to review and critically appraise the oral health literature using a journal club format. Students will be exposed to several “peer reviewed” publications that span the breadth of oral health topics – from basic science studies to those focused on population / public health and clinical interventions – and incorporate quantitative, qualitative and mixed method research design approaches. Student groups will be assigned a paper to present, with the remainder of the class expected to actively engage in follow-up discussion, facilitated by the instructor responsible for that paper.
