DH3 Clinic with Partners – Monday, August 24th
by Kaleigh Warden 19 Aug '26

19 Aug '26

Hi DH3, On Monday, August 24th, you will participate in your Clinic with Partners session. This is an opportunity to work through the full dental hygiene process of care on a classmate and refresh your clinical skills before beginning patient care clinics. As you already know, half of the class will act as clinicians during the morning session (9:00am-12:00pm), and the other half during the afternoon session (1:30pm-4:30pm). You are expected to attend your full assigned 3-hour clinic session and may select your own partner. What to Expect: Although you will work through the full dental hygiene process of care, there are specific expectations for what you should accomplish during the session. Please review the attached Clinic with Partners Overview before Monday. This is a practice session, not an evaluation. Instructors will be available throughout the clinic to answer questions, provide feedback, review procedures and help you prepare for your first patient clinic. You are expected to take responsibility for moving yourself through the process of care rather than waiting for an instructor to direct each step. Some activities have a required instructor review or demonstration, while others only require instructor involvement if you identify a concern or have questions. Pay particular attention to the “Level of Assessment Required” column in the attached guide. Some of the key activities you will complete include: * Practicing a Digital Case Summary * Completing and reviewing a medical history update and vital signs * Completing an EOE and IOE * Completing a comprehensive periodontal assessment for one quadrant * Demonstrating probing technique on the vestibular and lingual surfaces of one sextant * Briefly summarizing and verbalizing your DHCP * Completing debridement of one quadrant to completion * Demonstrating hand scaling and exploring technique on the vestibular and lingual surfaces of one sextant * Verbalizing appropriate oral hygiene recommendations * Considering how you would evaluate the identified human needs deficits and determine an appropriate recall interval DH2 Peer Mentorship – Afternoon Session During the afternoon clinic, DH2 students will be joining us to shadow as part of the peer mentorship requirements for the MDHA/SDH Mentorship Program. They have been asked to arrive at 1:00pm and look for their “buddy”. This is an opportunity to help the DH2 students become more familiar and comfortable with the clinic environment before they begin spending more time in clinic themselves. Please involve your DH2 student where appropriate. Some things you can show or explain include: * How you set up your operatory and organize your equipment and supplies * A brief tour of AxiUm, including where you access commonly used areas of the patient record * How you navigate the clinic and where commonly used supplies or equipment are located * A brief overview of the procedures you are completing and where you are within the dental hygiene process of care * How you organize yourself and transition between different components of an appointment * Any practical tips that you think would have been helpful for you to know when you were entering DH2 clinic You do not need to provide a formal teaching session. Simply talk through what you are doing, answer their questions, and help them become more familiar with the clinical environment. Please make an effort to include them in the session rather than having them simply observe from the sidelines. Please come prepared for Monday by reviewing the attached guide so that you are familiar with the expectations and can make the most of your clinic time. I will also post all of this on UM Learn in our Orientation section shortly. Looking forward to seeing everyone in clinic on Monday!

CDCP Coverage and Scheduling Patients
by Kaleigh Warden 19 Aug '26

19 Aug '26

Hi everyone, I have heard from several students who are concerned about being able to schedule patients during the first few weeks of clinic, particularly because some patients on your lists have CDCP coverage that is not due for renewal until later in September. Before I get into the CDCP details, I also want to say how impressed I am with how quickly you have all gotten started with organizing your patient lists and reaching out to patients. I know there is a lot to sort through at the beginning of the year, and it is clear that many of you have already put a great deal of time and effort into reviewing your lists and making contact with your patients. Thank you for being so proactive. Please keep in mind that care can be started before a patient's CDCP renewal date. The College does not submit CDCP claims for our patients until their final completion appointment. This means you can begin care before the renewal date, provided the patient's care is completed no earlier than the day after their CDCP coverage has renewed. When contacting these patients, please be sure to ask: * Whether they have completed their annual CDCP renewal * Whether they are aware of any changes to their coverage for the upcoming benefit year I was informed today that the current renewal/processing time is approximately 2 weeks. If a patient has not yet renewed their coverage, please encourage them to do so as soon as possible to help prevent delays in completing their care. Hopefully this provides you with a little more flexibility when scheduling patients for the first few weeks of clinic. Please reach out if you have any questions or encounter a situation you are unsure about. Keep up the great work and have a great rest of your week!
