Course overview

The postgraduate course in oral medicine prepares the student for the practice of oral medicine at specialist level and
provides the student with a working knowledge of oral pathology short of the ability independently to report specimens.
The course provides a basis for continuing dental education in later professional life. On completion of the degree the
graduate should be competent to teach clinical oral medicine and oral pathology. In addition, the student will attend a core course common to all of the postgraduate clinical dental disciplines. The core course provides a wide postgraduate background in biology, clinical management, epidemiology and statistics and in science related to dentistry. The student will also undertake a research project leading to a thesis. The findings should be suitable for publication in peer reviewed international journals. The division of time is approximately ten percent to the core
course, forty percent oral medicine, twenty percent oral pathology, twenty percent management of medically compromised patients and ten percent research. The course leads to the award of Master in Dental Surgery (M.Dent.Ch.) and fulfils the criteria for specialist recognition by the Dental Council of Ireland.
