General Section Preamble

The academic course of study for dental medicine was introduced in order to establish a duration of study comparable to that of a majority of European countries. Its basic characteristics depart from the previous technical education to become a medical specialist for dental, oral and maxillary medicine and its goals are now oriented towards a three year technical education. The academic course of study prepares the student for their future profession as a dentist. Theoretical fundamentals as well as practical skills are imparted in an integrated, topic-focused and patient-oriented manner. Particular emphasis is placed on human science aspects in terms of the biopsychosocial model, Furthermore, the major aspects of scientific thinking are imparted. The aim is to provide the student with a broad medical education and thus the fullest qualifications for entry into the professional world and the optimal foundation for further education in every medical field after their graduation. Concurrently, in accordance with the expected ability to continue learning throughout their lives, the student should be given the capacity to critically approach medical changes during the course of their professional career. This curriculum also requires integration regarding the content of further education after graduation in order to create a consistent concept for the entire medical education. The course of study for dental medicine is an academic course of study. After graduation, it is possible to continue study for a doctoral degree in medical sciences. The equality of the sexes shall be upheld by the teachers as well as the students and shall be monitored through the working group on questions of equality. Gender specific aspects shall be taken into consideration in terms of content throughout the entire course of study.

Goal of the Course of Study 1. The goals are oriented towards the educational content and profiles of the previous education

to become a medical specialist for dental, oral and maxillary medicine. 2. The academic course of study for dental medicine imparts knowledge and skills in every

traditional section of dental medicine, such as conservative dental care, periodontology, and orthodontistry, to such a degree that the basic dental treatment of a general dental practice can be ensured.

3. The academic course of study serves as a foundation for continuing specialist education in the areas of dental, oral and maxillary medicine at a university or other educational institution.

4. The academic course of study builds the foundation for scientific activity in the sections of dental, oral and maxillary medicine.

§ 2. Duration of Study, Stages of Study

(1) The academic course of study for dental medicine consists of three stages of study with a total duration of 12 semesters. (2) The first stage of study encompasses 2 semesters and is at least 90% identical with the first stage of study for the course of study for human medicine. It is intended that this stage of study impart knowledge and basic understanding of the human organism and should provide the theoretical foundation for understanding the clinical presentations. The entry phase for the course of study including the exploration of the professional field as well as initial training of medical skills and communication are covered in this stage of study. During the exploration of the professional field, the


occupational descriptions relevant for dental medicine and the evaluation of technical skills will be addressed. The essential component of this stage of study is the “Introduction to Dental Medicine”. (3) The second stage of study encompasses four semesters. In the second stage of study, the students will acquire knowledge of the healthy and ill organism. The topic-centered, patient-oriented, interdisciplinary instruction, and the integration of the clinical presentations under the use of new forms of teaching, such as problem-based learning, shall serve as the foundation for the second stage of study. The fundamentals in the function of the chewing mechanism and specific dental medicine skills are imparted. (4) The third stage of study encompasses six semesters and is intended to impart scientific knowledge and practical skills specifically for activities in the field of dental medicine as well as to deepen the scientific training.

§ 3. Organization of the Stages of Study and Total Number of Hours

(1) The academic course of study for dental medicine encompasses a total of 230 semester hours of instruction (lectures, seminars, excursions, exercises, seminars with exercises, lectures with exercises) as well as a total of 72 weeks of practical training (255.6 semester hours). Of these, 23 semester hours are to be completed as free electives. (2) The first stage of study encompasses 2 semesters with 46.3 semester hours of required subjects; this includes an entry phase in the course of study of 6.6 semester hours. (3) The second stage of study encompasses 4 semesters with 75.7 semester hours and 2 weeks of practical training. (4) The third stage of study encompasses 6 semesters with 85 semester hours of required subjects as well as 70 weeks of practical training (248.88 semester hours).

§ 4.

Dissertations

The students must independently compose a written dissertation under the guidance of a university professor. The topic of the dissertation is to be derived from one of the examination subjects stipulated in the curriculum. In writing a dissertation, the author should show that they are capable of independently examining a scientific problem using scientific methods and presenting their findings. Essential evidence of this examination consists of the composition of a piece of written work containing a description of the problem and its classification within an overall interrelationship, as well as a presentation and discussion of the solution and the results. The holistic approach to medicine as a fundamental idea of the research, instruction and patient care as stipulated in the bio-psycho-social model of the Medical University of Graz, should also be followed within the framework of the dissertation. The dissertation will be evaluated by a university professor.

§ 5. Academic Degree

Graduates of the academic course of study for dental medicine are awarded the academic degree of “Doctor of Odontology”, in Latin "Doctor medicinae dentalis", abbreviated as “Dr.med.dent.”.


§ 6. Courses

(1) Courses are lectures (VO), exercises (UE), seminars (SE), excursions (EX), seminars with exercises (SU), lectures with exercises (VU) and practical training (PR). (2) Lectures (VO) serve to impart theoretical learning content to an unlimited number of students. They can be offered in part, or entirely, as virtual courses. (3) Exercises (UE) serve to impart practical skills. Exercises include, among others, exercises with supplements, dummies and models, as well as bedside, dental chair, and laboratory exercises. In the second stage of study, at least half of the exercises should take place as bedside- or chairside-teaching. Exercises will be held in groups with a maximum of 12 participants in the first and second stages of study, and with a maximum of 6 participants in the third stage of study. (4) Seminars (SE) serve as an educational platform predominately intended to stimulate the independent work of the learners. This shall be ensured through problem-based learning (PBL), which shall encompass at least 2 semester hours in the first stage of study. Seminars shall be held in groups with a limited number of participants. (5) Seminars with exercises (SU): this form of instruction consists of seminar and exercise units that fulfill the requirements of the respective LV types (SE/UE) as defined above. (6) Lectures with exercises in the third stage of study serve to impart practical skills based on theoretical learning content. Exercises include, among others, exercises with dummies and models, as well as bedside, dental chair, and laboratory exercises. In the third stage of study, at least three quarters of the exercises should take place as bedside- or chairside-teaching. Exercises will be held in groups with a limited number of participants. (7) The practical training in dental medicine serves to deepen the theoretical and practical learning content imparted in the exercises and lectures and to promote their therapeutic application. Practical training will be held with a maximum of 6 participants. To successfully complete the practical training course, the students must complete the treatment as defined by the mentor for the practical training course. The mentor for the practical training courses will be chosen by the Vice-President for the course of study and professors as well as entrusted individuals. (8) Excursion (EX): Excursions are intended for exploration of the professional field in the first semester. Excursions can be offered as free electives in the third stage of study. (9) The level of success in the courses with continual evaluation of performance as listed above in Paragraphs 3 to 8 shall be judged based on the performance and participation of the student during the course of attendance.

§ 7. Examinations

The examination methods shall be designed in such a manner that they are comprehensible, valid and suitable for verifying that the educational goals (knowledge, skills and attitudes) have been obtained. The learning contents imparted in the courses shall be examined. In accordance with the integrated form of instruction, the examinations shall take place in this form. The following types of examination are intended: Courses with Continual Evaluation of Performance: Seminars (SE), Exercises (UE), Lectures with exercises (VU), Seminars with exercises (SU), Practical training (PK) as well as Excursions (EX) shall


be graded according to this mode. The participation and independent contributions of the students shall be graded. Excused absences can be tolerated up to 15% of the total instruction. Should this limit be exceeded, the opportunity to do individual make-up work or repeat the course(s) shall be offered according to organizational possibility. For courses with continual evaluation of performance, clear evaluation criteria (e.g. specific point and examination systems) must be determined and published before the course begins. Expert examinations (FP): Expert examinations encompass the material lectured upon or imparted in multiple courses of a module. As a rule, expert examinations take place as written examinations and shall be offered in accordance with the legal guidelines. According to the course content, oral and practical elements of examination may also be used. The student must first complete the course with continual evaluation of performance with a passing grade before being allowed to register for the corresponding expert examination. The number and type of questions as well as the grading scale for expert examinations are to be published at the beginning of the scholastic year. The pre-defined grading scale may only be changed by the omission of questions that are invalid, vague or flawed in some other way. When grading an expert examination, it is not permitted that specific sections of an examination, or points and results for said sections, be required for a passing grade. The grades are to result from the entire score. Further terms are not permissible. Course examinations (LP): Course examinations encompass the material imparted in a lecture. As a rule, course examinations take place as written examinations. They are offered in accordance with the legal guidelines. According to the course content, oral and practical elements of examination may also be used. The type of examination is to be determined before the course begins. The overall grade for a module as a diploma examination course corresponds to the evaluation for the expert course. The overall grade for a track shall be based on the grade for the corresponding lecture. Lectures with integrated exercises (VU): These can be designed with continual evaluation of performance or completed with a course examination. The lecturer must make the examination mode known to the students in a verifiable manner before the course begins. Comprehensive examinations before a committee in the third stage of study: The comprehensive examination before a committee in the third stage of study is an integrated examination of all the subjects as stipulated in the following curriculum. Should the learner fail one of these subjects, only this subject is repeated in the case of a repeat examination.

§ 8. European Credit Transfer System (ECTS)

To enable international credit for courses, the extent of the course of study and individual study requirements will be given in ECTS points which are based on the actual workload including the time necessary to attend the lectures. In accordance with the UG 2002, 60 ECTS points will be granted per year, which corresponds to a workload of 1,500 real hours. The ECTS points are determined among others by means of student survey. The appendix includes a list of the ECTS points awarded for each individual course.

Conclusion of the Second Stage of Study (1) The second stage of study is concluded after receiving a passing grade for each section of the second degree examination and after successfully completing the practical training course for oral and facial surgery with a passing grade. (2) Completion of the second stage of study with a passing grade is required in order to continue with the third stage of study.


§18 Ranking for Acceptance to Courses with a Limited Number of Participants in the Third

Stage of Study

(1) The exercises in the third stage of study are courses with continual evaluation of performance. Due to the current conditions regarding space and personnel at the University Clinic for Dental Medicine, the number of participants in the exercises and practical training courses of the third stage of study are limited to 12 participants per semester. Under the condition that the Clinic management is able to provide the expansion of resources as outlined in appendix 2, the number of participants in the third stage of study can be increased to 18 per semester. (2) Nevertheless, based on the large number of students in the second stage of study at the time this curriculum enters into effect, a delay in the acceptance to the courses outlined above is to be expected. (3) Should this actually be the case, the date of completion for the degree examination of the second stage of study will be used to determine the applicant ranking. Should multiple students have an equal ranking, the average grade weighed according to ECTS will be considered. (4) The ranking will be made by the Study and Examination Department and approved at first instance by a study rights body on September 30th for the winter semester and on February 28th for the summer semester.

Students, who are not able to attend the exercises or practical training courses due to the limited number of available places of study, may attend the lectures of the third stage of study and free electives. Such students will be given special consideration regarding the availability of places of study in the following year in accordance the ranking method outlined in paragraphs 3 to 5.

§ 20. Free Electives for the Third Stage of Study

(1) It is recommended that courses be completed in the area of human or natural sciences. In particular, a course in one foreign language should be completed. It is also possible to attend any course of the medical faculty including those that currently exist with contents from complimentary medicine and homeopathy. (2) It is further recommended that, depending on the courses being offered, continuative courses in the following subjects: Dental Care Dental Prostheses Periodontology Oral Surgery (including dental x-ray diagnostics, dental anesthesiology and dental traumatology) Orthodontics Oral and Facial Surgery Illnesses of the Mucous Membrane of the Mouth Aging and Geriatric Illnesses Special Cases of Implant Prosthetic Surgery Forensic Medicine and Law for Dentists Aspects of Founding a Dental Office Dental Documentation and EDP Labor and Social Law with Regards to the Management of a Dental Office

§ 21. Requirements for Registration to Attend Courses that Require Special Previous

Knowledge in Order to Be Understood

(1) Courses designated with a Roman numeral are to be taken in numeric order, whereby the course with the lower number must first be completed with a passing grade before the course with the next highest number may be attended.

(2) Since graduates of the academic course of study for dental medicine will be bestowed the right to

independently practice dental medicine, the course of study is structured in semester-long thematic blocks that build upon each other according to accepted subject specific didactic approaches. This means that lectures and exercises for each semester may only be attended after completing the previous semester with a passing grade. The possible increase in the number of students in the third stage of study requires a reorganization of the sequence. This reorganization, together with an increase in the resources, will make it possible to increase the number of students. It will result in a lower degree of integration between the theoretical and practical instruction. In any case, once the number of students waiting for courses has been reduced, a return to a higher degree of integration (see curriculum June 22nd, 2005) is to be implemented.
