MODULE: COMPREHENSIVE PATIENT MANAGEMENT (CPM)
Purpose:
The purpose of the Comprehensive Patient Management (CPM) module is to integrate knowledge in multiple dimensions and to teach students how to manage their patients and practices to ensure a viable dental practice with minimal risk.
Articulation with other modules:
Comprehensive Patient Management interrelates with all aspects of the dental curriculum. It draws on business, behavioural and clinical research and attempts to integrate knowledge on a vertical and horizontal plane in the dental curriculum.
Critical Cross-field outcomes:
Integrated Dentistry (IDE 170, 270)
Comprehensive Patient Management (TBW 370, 470 & 570)
Practice Management (PM):
The PM unit exposes the student to strategic-, financial-, personnel, inventory- (including dental materials, instruments, equipment and other technologies), and marketing management concepts required to establish and manage a dental practice as a viable business. The intention of the unit is not to create experts in practice management but rather to lay a sound practical foundation that could be applied in practice which could be developed further through post-graduate study at a more appropriate time in the career of a dentist.
Ethics and Jurisprudence (EJ):
The EJ unit includes the didactic part of professionalism, ethics and jurisprudence.
