PRESENTATION
|
Objective :
|
n partnership with European universities (France, Germany, Italy, Spain) offering teaching which enables useful knowledge to be updated for practitioners using lasers or those wishing to becomes practitioners using lasers.
|
Reasons :
|
The development of new odontology laser technologies requires theoretical and practical knowledge which is covered only briefly in the undergraduate context. This gap in teaching, which we hope is temporary, leaves practitioners wishing to use this technology at the mercy of commercial training providers with a financial interest in the area.
This obliges universities to offer refresher courses for practitioners who use lasers or who wish to use lasers.
The Masters teaching will be cover the basic knowledge required for correct clinical practice.
|
Our teaching programme is currently followed by seven European universities: Nice, Aachen, Rome, Parma, Barcelona, Timisoara, and Liège. Teaching is providing within the framework of a European Masters in 'Oral Laser
Applications' (EMDOLA).
On 6-7 May 2007, the European Commission recognised this inter-university European Masters (EMDOLA: European Master Degree in Oral Laser Applications) by awarding it a bronze medal for the new 'European education and life long learning' programme.

ASSESSMENT
|
- Theory teaching: continuous assessment in the form of short questions and answers and/or multiple choice questions. Eleven tests each graded out of 20, i.e. a total of 220 points reduced down to 20 (divided by 11 i.e. a coefficient of 1);
- Practical teaching, tutorials, clinical: continuous assessment graded out of 20 (coefficient 1);
- Final thesis: Defence of applied research thesis on a given subject (before a jury). Grade out of 40 (coefficient 2). The thesis must be defended in June in the second academic year, in the presence of a jury. The defence is public.
- Clinical module is graded out of 20 (coefficient 1).
|
