Students,
As we are quickly approaching the end of the clinical sessions for this term there are a few things that need your attention:
1. As screenings continue, please let potential patients know that we are coming to the end of the academic year, and they will not be assigned to a student for a treatment plan and treatment until the fall. If they have any urgent concerns, they will need to seek care in private practice until we begin clinics in September 2025. 2. Make sure you complete ALL items in the screening form. Without this information the front desk is unable to determine what student level to assign the patient to. Also DO NOT list all student groups to assign the patient to, PICK ONE. If the patient has mainly D3 needs and perhaps a molar endo then ASSIGN D3. If you list assign D2, D3, or D4 you can see this defeats the main purpose of screening. Remember it is you as students who are selecting your patient pool, pick wisely and help decide which learning level the patient is overall best suited for. 3. Start reviewing your patient records to ensure you have all forms properly completed and swiped where required in preparation for clearances. 4. Correction cards need to be signed by the instructor who swiped you on the session when the error was made. Please minimize errors, correcting incorrect entries in axium is very time consuming for all. 5. Late submissions to the MDR are being tracked. Please review the Clinical Manual to refresh yourself on the consequences of late MDR equipment hand-in. 6. Make sure you have all procedure codes swiped by your instructor BEFORE you bring your patient to the front desk. If you do not have all codes and forms properly swiped by your instructor the front desk staff will ask that you and your patient return to the clinic to complete this. 7. Continue to work together, stay focused on learning and providing your patients with outstanding compassionate dental care.
