In order to meet the requirements of the Australian Dental Council (ADC) accreditation of this program, students are required to undertake an assessment by external assessors.
You will not be given an opportunity to undertake this assessment until you have been deemed satisfactory in clinical competencies by your clinical demonstrators.
The proposed assessment date is outlined below, assessment dates will be based upon availability of patients (clients) within the Royal Dental Hospital Melbourne.
The assessment will be undertaken in two parts;
- Case presentations to a panel of external assessors (using 1 - F/F case and 1 - Partial denture case that have been deemed as assessment cases, with noguidance from anyone else, throughout all stages of the treatment), you will present the treatment that you undertook for the clients and respond to questions from the panel. The presentation must include a full case history as well as photographic evidence of the treatment.
- External assessors will assess the work undertaken in the clinical environment at the check visit, you may be asked into the clinical booth at the time to discuss the treatment. This will be at the discretion of the assessors.
Throughout both aspects of this assessment, you will be assessed against the Professional Competencies of the Newly Qualified Dental Prosthetist as outlined in your clinical logbook and on the following website:
ADC graduate professional competencies
To be deemed competent (CA) - a Satisfactory (S) result in all aspects of this assessment by the external assessors is required.
If you are deemed Not Satisfactory (NS) in any aspect of this assessment, your result will be taken to the course advisory committee (CAC) for discussion.
If you receive a final grade of Not Yet Competent (NYC), you will be required to enrol in this unit again and incur the fees associated.
