G.48 CURRICULUM

G.48.1 Magister Scientiae (Dentium) (Dental Public Health)

This Masters programme in Dental Public Health is a flexible learning programme for students on campus or

living and working elsewhere in the world.

G.48.1.1 Aims and Objectives of the programme

To improve district oral health services by developing the capacity of health personnel to plan, manage and

deliver oral health services. The course focuses on the provision of knowledge, skills and qualities required to

run successful oral health programmes. It aims to develop proficiency in community diagnosis, assessment of

oral health needs, developing and managing strategies to meet those needs and methods for evaluating oral

health services. You will graduate from this course with a unique combination of health care management and

applied DPH knowledge and skills that will build on your previous training and experience in oral health.

After completing this programme you will be able to:

demonstrate knowledge, skills and qualities related to priority DPH issues

address the underlying social and environmental determinants of health and oral health contribute to DPH policy, planning and programmes

plan and supervise health research to support oral health promotion and care

develop a community profile and diagnosis

establish and use a DPH health management information system

prepare and implement budget plans and funding proposals

communicate and work effectively with individuals and groups using different media.

G.48.1.2 Programme Structure

The programme comprises four main components, namely an Introductory Module, a Dental Public Health

Module, a Research Preparation Module and the Research Report (mini-thesis). The Introductory Module atthe start of the programme is designed (1) to orientate the student to all aspects of the learning process, (2) to

assist the student to contextualise the course material within the broader conceptual environment of health,

public health and development, and (3) to initiate the thesis research process. The programme includesactivities that will enhance academic literacy during this time, including reading, writing and learning skills

and computer literacy. The student will prepare a short situation analysis of their community for submissionand evaluation by the end of this period. Aims of the Dental Public Health Module is to (1) study 10 high

priority DPH problems, (2) to provide an integrated learning activity where each DPH case is examined using

the tools provided by a variety of dental health and public health disciplines, and (3) to contextualise DPHwithin the broader environment of public health and society. Students will work through these different DPH

scenarios guided by the calendar of deadlines and goals provided. Each case is designed so that students

engage the resources of a variety of different disciplines in order to understand and respond to the issues at thecore of each DPH case. Three written tasks will be submitted for evaluation during this period. The Research

Preparation Module sets out (1) to prepare students for the necessary research skills to design, carry out and


18/147

17

write up a piece of research as their MSc thesis, and (2) to utilise this integrated task as a common theme in

the learning of a variety of academic literacy, numeracy, computer and research skills. The assignment tasksinclude the preparation of a literature review and a completed protocol.
