Practical Module
Clinical practice sessions with patients at the University Dental Clinic (UCD). Students will treat patients at the UCD, and they will plan each case from a prosthodontic and surgical point of view. Students will take a multidisciplinary approach.
Courses and conferences
Attendance is compulsory for all theoretical and practical sessions. Students must also attend conferences, courses and congresses over the course of the academic year. Students are expected to take an active part in conferences and symposiums organised by leading scientific organisations through talks and posters. At the beginning of the course, teaching staff will provide a calendar of compulsory activities.
- Dr. Pablo Altuna
- Dr. Antoni Castellón
- Dr. Marc Quevedo
- Dr. Jordi Marqués
Students will be assessed on a continuous basis through exams and by the teaching staff on each course programme. Students will give an oral and written presentation every trimester. The final assessment will involve a written test and a test on clinical cases.
