DMD 2140 - Special Populations

The course will provide the students with the tools to embrace dental care for people with special needs, or to refer with empathy and effectiveness to those patients that require care beyond the scope of general dentistry or special facilities. Emphasis will be provided to refine skills to search for information that may allow the practitioner to care for these special populations, work in consultation with other providers, and have empathy for vulnerable individuals and their families.
