OTHER ACTIVITIES:
TRAINING PROGRAM:
Oral Medicine and Radiology offers both undergraduate and a 3 year post graduate training leading to awarding of the degree of Master In Dental Surgery, MDS.
The UG students are taught how to take case histories and how to perform basic intra-oral examination under the supervision of the trained faculty members. They are also given training in how to take intra-oral radiographs and their interpretation.
The PG curriculum is followed rigidly as per the DCI guidelines. The PG students are subjected to regular chair side discussions as well as radiographic interpretation sessions by the PG Guide so as to equip them with optimum knowledge. Regular seminars and journal clubs held in the department keep the PG students well trained. The PG students are also encouraged to attend various CDE programs, national PG conventions and Conferences so that they can be abreast with the latest advancements in the subject. PG dissertations also form an important part of them learning how to progress in the field of research activities.
