PRE-COURSE REQUIREMENTS
HOME STUDY COMPONENTS
The home study portion of the course includes completion of the CRDHA self-assessment package and required readings from the course textbook (see below). Additional learning activities may be included to supplement and guide the individual home study portion. Participants will review the dental hygiene process of care, including dental hygiene assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation. A review of dental hygiene professionalism will include topics such as ethics, standards of practice, and documentation. Participants must successfully complete the Quality Assurance Test offered by the National Dental Hygiene Certification Board by April 15, 2019.
REMEDIAL CLINICAL COMPONENTS
This six week clinical course will be comprised of didactic sessions reviewing infection prevention & control, the dental hygiene process of care, radiology theory, technique and interpretation. Pre-clinical sessions using dental mannequins will review the proficient use of the explorer, probe, gracey curettes, universal curettes, sickle scalers and power instrumentation, and common dental radiography techniques. Participants will be required to demonstrate proficient use of each of the instruments in pre-clinical assessments prior to progressing to clinical care.
Clinical sessions will be devoted to providing dental hygiene care to clients in the Kaye Edmonton Clinic. Participants will provide care for a variety of patients with varying degrees of calculus and periodontal health complexities. All instruments and patients will be provided by the department. Clinical sessions will include both learning opportunities and formal assessments of participant performance.
The clinical course will consist of individualized instruction with low student to instructor ratios (no more than 4:1) including continuous assessment and evaluation of clinical procedures performed. Participants are expected to have proper clinical attire and safety eyewear or loupes.
Completion of this course does not guarantee that participants will acquire the necessary competencies for Entry to Practice as determined by the College of Registered Dental Hygienists of Alberta (CRDHA), nor does it guarantee the successful completion of the Canadian Performance Examination in Dental Hygiene. This course does not recertify participants in the delivery of local anesthesia.
Upon completion of the course, the CRDHA Registration coordinator will receive a detailed Evaluation Report for each participant. Additional education and/or clinical practice may be required by the CRDHA.
