Comprehensive Care
The MCG School of Dentistry has opened a Comprehensive Care Clinic, modeled after private-practice dentistry to enable one-stop service for most patients. Students, who obtain clinical training in the clinic by providing faculty-supervised treatment, “now have a unique way to enrich their dental education,” said Dean Connie Drisko.
“Comprehensive care allows them to increase their clinical productivity and practice more difficult procedures that would have previously been done in another clinic. The end result is a more experienced graduate.”
The clinic features axiUm, a clinic management system that allows for paperless patient records and digital radiography. MCG’s dental school is among the first in the nation to incorporate this type of system into operational and clinical care.
