Organizing for the CRDTS Examination
May 31, - June 1, 2008
Medical College of Georgia
Objectives:
- Familiarize candidates
with facility and equipment
- Provide access to
laboratory facilities for practice of lab bench exercises
- Provide faculty
supervision of candidates for x-ray and examination of your patients at
the School of Dentistry
Orientation Course:
Many candidates who are unfamiliar with the Medical College of Georgia
may need access to the facilities prior to the
CRDTS exam. To comply with
state laws and institutional policies, an orientation course is designed to
allow you to evaluate (NOT TREAT) patients who you may wish to treat during
the examination. Assistance in preparation for the examination will include
orientation, tour, access to clinic for screening activities, and access to
laboratory and supplies for preparation and practicing the procedures that
do not involve patients.
Individualized instruction on specific procedures is beyond the scope of
this course. However, on scheduled days faculty will be available to provide
individualized feedback on dentoform preparations. A limited number of
ivorine teeth, as well as the recommended diamond burs will be made
available to each participate.
It is the responsibility of each candidate to provide their own
patients. MCG does not have a broad patient pool and does not allow
applicants access to patient records. Securing back-up patients is strongly
advised.
