LEARNING & TEACHING

Learning and teaching represent an important aspect of Oral Medicine.

Oral Medicine forms a core component of the undergraduate dental student curriculum.

Specialists in Oral Medicine update dental and medical practitioners as part of lifelong learning

and preparation for professional exams.

Postgraduate courses leading to higher degrees are available within Oral Medicine units for those

clinicians wishing to develop their understanding of Oral Medicine problems.

Increasingly, Oral Medicine clinicians are responsible for Human Disease teaching which
trains undergraduate dental students and dentists how to place dental care within the context of
the patients overall health and circumstances.
