This program is an innovative, structured, external studies program offering general dental, oral health, hygiene and therapy practitioners and eligible auxiliaries a unique opportunity to acquire and improve their knowledge and skills in clinical dentistry and oral health to meet the demands of contemporary dental practice.
Our external Graduate Certificate students continue to practice in their field of dentistry while completing 6 units of formal theory in addition to an exciting and evolving range of hands-on clinical and laboratory short intensive courses on campus. Students can study online or on paper, at home or work, on a part-time basis for a period of up to three years. Support from peers, on-campus staff, specialist practitioners, paper based and online resources and the remote student service of the Barr Smith Library are also a feature of the program.
The clinical and laboratory courses involve
pre-reading before a 3- or 4-day intensive teaching block, including
hands-on experience. These intensive courses are held in laboratory or
clinical facilities in Adelaide or Newcastle and are supported by
online resources, seminars and lectures.
This program may stand alone or it may be your
starting point for further postgraduate study. Six units of theory
from the certificate can be carried on to a graduate diploma.
