Module summary

The five, linked courses on Personal and Professional Development run throughout the entire programme as dental students develop and demonstrate their personal and professional attributes. This first course will consider your learning styles and what motivates you as an individual to learn and behave in particular ways.You will be asked to consider the patient perspective to dental treatment (having worked with real and with simulated patients) and how best you may facilitate effective management of oral care. Your attendance at clinical treatment sessions will encourage you to communicate with patients on a range of issues and to consider your own professionalism. Of central importance to success will be your engagement with the 'progress file' (PPD File). Meetings will be arranged with your personal tutor where thoughts on your clinical and academic strengths and weaknesses can be discussed confidentially, leading to the production of learning goals for the next years of the programme. An individual reflective assignment on personal development and your learning style will be undertaken.
