Brief Description of Undergraduate Courses Taught: (Course Title – Code: Description)

1 Oral Pathology I – BDS 322 - This is a one semester pre-clinical course during the 3rd year. It is a basic science course that introduces the student to the scientific background (etiology, pathogenesis, clinic-pathological features, and prognosis) of oral diseases. It consists of didactic and practical components. In the practical component, students will see the microscopic changes for the most common oral diseases.

2 Oral Pathology II – BDS 462 - This course is the second in oral pathology. It is designed to introduce the student to the knowledge of oral oncology, benign and malignant neoplasia of the jaws and relevant conditions with impact on oral health. It enables the student to differentiate between various oral and maxillofacial cysts, neoplasms (odontogenic, non-odontogenic), bone, hematologic and lymphoid diseases. In addition, the student is introduced to salivary gland diseases and neoplasms. The course deals with contemporary theories of disease development, pathogenesis and current therapeutic modalities.

3 Oral Diagnosis I – BDS 351 - This is a one semester pre-clinical course during the 3rd year. The course is designed to introduce the method of collection and evaluation of diagnostic data, and dental records. Students are introduced to different systemic diseases with oral manifestations that may have an impact on dental treatment. In the practical part of the course, the students will be exposed to different clinical scenarios where they are encourage extracting, interpreting and organizing the data collected and discuss their conclusions with their supervisors and colleagues and respond to questions and comments. A structured checklist is used for evaluating case related assignments given to students towards the end of each session. Towards the end of the course, students are introduced to the clinics to have an orientation on how to perform physical examination of a patient.

4 Oral Diagnosis II – BDS 411 - The aim of this course is to train students to perform a comprehensive assessment for their patients and develop differential and/or definitive diagnoses for oral lesions. It will train the students to apply previous knowledge into dental practice. This will be done by correlating findings from the history, clinical examination, and other diagnostic tests. In addition, this course is designed to improve the students’ abilities on how to develop critical scientific thinking in order to make a correct diagnosis. The subjects covered in the didactic part of this curriculum are presented in the form of clinical issues to develop differential diagnoses using a comprehensive approach to patient care. Furthermore, case based learning is applied in the clinical part of the course where students have a chance to discuss the medical and dental history of a given patient. Emphasis will be on the clinical examination of cases.

5 Oral Medicine – BDS 551 - This is a one semester clinical course during the 5th year. The course is designed to orient the student on how to provide safe oral health care and management for medically compromised patients in addition to oral conditions. Students are introduced to various systemic diseases that have oral manifestations and/or its effect on dental treatment. The course has didactic and clinical parts.

6 Dental Data Collection – ODIAG 202- This course will introduce the dental students to the basic concepts and principles of dental practice. The students will participate in learning and observing basic dental procedures in both the laboratory and clinic.
