Course description During Year 4, this course is intended to allow you to refine the clinical skills which have been acquired during Years 1-3. You will undertake your clinical sessions in primary care outreach clinics under the supervision of a number of clinical supervisors. This activity allows you to experience dentistry in a less academic environment which is intended to simulate a real life setting.

In the final semester of Year 4, all knowledge and clinical skills will be consolidated. Students will rotate to a different outreach centre to have the opportunity of experiencing a different patient base.
