Brief overview of our Recommendation:
• Combining of 2nd and 3rd year students into one teaching
model—no separate 2nd year clinic; each clinical teaching
group would contain both 2nd and 3rd year students
Brief overview of our
Recommendation:
• Combining of 2nd and 3rd year students into one teaching
model—no separate 2nd year clinic; each clinical teaching
group would contain both 2nd and 3rd year students
• GPM faculty would be expanded through cross training to
include faculty from multiple departments supervising all
ODTP, restorative, simple perio, removable, and possibly
screening and emergency care in each teaching group
• In this new model we were looking for more effective ways to
utilize our faculty specialists
• In this new model we were looking for more effective ways to
utilize our faculty specialists
• There was no consensus on the number of groups but the
additional GPMs assigned to each of these larger groups
would maintain our current student/faculty ratio and would
provide enough faculty to buffer unexpected faculty absences,
meeting attendance, or integrated curriculum needs
There is now an implementation group chaired by
Anders Nattestad looking at this recommendation,
soliciting additional input from the Pacific
community, and synthesizing ideas of their own
with the goal of moving any eventual model
change forward. The SWOT analysis we will be
doing today is important to Dr. Nattestad’s group.
