MSc Dental Science for Clinical Practice
Whitechapel
INTAKE: September
Program Overview
The MSc Dental Science for Clinical Practice at Queen Mary is specifically tailored for dentists who have qualified outside of the UK and wish to practice in the UK. The program bridges the gap between international dental training and UK practice standards, ensuring that graduates are prepared for the General Dental Council (GDC) registration process and successful integration into the UK dental healthcare system.
Curriculum: The curriculum covers a broad range of essential topics, including basic sciences relevant to modern dental practice, applied principles of clinical dentistry, clinical skills, communication skills, professionalism, management, and leadership. 1 Students will delve into subjects like anatomy, physiology, immunology, microbiology, molecular biology in relation to oral health and disease. The program emphasizes practical training, with students attending clinics and participating in technical practice sessions to hone their clinical skills. A key component is training in Objective Structured Clinical Reasoning Examinations (OSCE) and Structured Clinical Reasoning (SCR) exams, which are crucial for GDC registration.
Research Focus: While the primary focus of this program is on clinical training and preparation for UK practice, Queen Mary's renowned research environment in dentistry informs the curriculum. Students are taught by distinguished international experts who are actively involved in research, ensuring that the program content is up-to-date with the latest advancements in dental science and practice. This exposure to research fosters a culture of evidence-based practice and critical thinking.
Industry Engagement: The program provides opportunities for students to engage with the UK dental healthcare system through clinical placements and interactions with practicing dentists. This practical experience allows students to gain insights into the real-world application of their skills and knowledge within the UK context. The program also benefits from Queen Mary's strong links with various dental institutions and organizations, further enhancing opportunities for networking and professional development.
Global Perspective: While the program focuses on UK dental practice, it also acknowledges the global nature of oral health challenges. The program attracts students from diverse international backgrounds, creating a rich learning environment where different perspectives on dental care are shared. This fosters a global understanding of oral health issues and promotes the exchange of knowledge and best practices from around the world.
