| Screening |
- A screening program has been developed to assist the students in securing an adequate distribution of patient case levels. Students work in pairs alternating as operator and data recorder. A screening appointment includes the following tasks:
- Medical History Review
- Intra Oral Examination
- Extra Oral Examination
- Dental Chart
- PSR Score
- Radiographs (taken by students assigned in radiology)
- Completion of Screening Form (screening forms are to be given to the clinic coordinator)
- Explanation to patient of screening and patient assignment procedures
- Screening is designed to ensure students have and equal distribution of case loads. The clinic coordinator is responsible for the assignment of screening patients to students. In the event a patient is assigned to a student who is unable to fulfill patient therapy, the student should immediately return the form to the clinic coordinator for reassignment. Please do not give patients to other students without the approval of the clinic coordinator.
- Professionalism violations will be given if a student screens a patient and does not turn in the appropriate screening form to the clinic coordinator. The clinic coordinator reserves the right to deny credit for therapy administered to patients who should have been assigned through the screening process.
