TI  - Results from a new global oral health course: a case study at one dental school.
PG  - 1245-51
AB  - To channel students' interest in global oral health and prepare them to respond 
      adequately to the health effects of globalization as future practitioners, new 
      courses in dental curricula may be needed. This article documents the results of 
      Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM)'s new course, Global Oral Health: 
      Interdisciplinary Approaches. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first course 
      of its kind in dental education. HSDM developed learning objectives for the 
      course based on the literature, the training and experience of HSDM global health 
      faculty, and the mission of the HSDM Global Health Initiative. Dental residents 
      and public health students enrolled, and some dental students audited. The 
      discussion-based critical thinking course examined the extensive relationship 
      between oral health and global health, and concept development was determined by 
      in-class participation. After taking the course, students' assessments of their 
      global oral health knowledge increased on average 100 percent. Nearly all 
      students reported that they were very likely to use the concepts of global oral 
      health in their careers and that they would definitely recommend the course to 
      others. This course model seems to have met the expectations of students and 
      faculty, and its fundamentals appear to be readily transferrable to other dental 
      schools.
