Learning unit contents
Professional internships
The passive internships that are organized in the first year of the bachelor's degree in Oral Hygiene are observation internships. They aim to familiarize the student with his future professional environment. During passive internships, the student will observe how a trainee dentist manages his schedule (respecting schedules), takes care of his patients (listening and communication with patients, order of priorities of treatments undertaken), performs the necessary care (anticipation and difficulties), completed a medical file (anamnesis, care provided, etc.). The hygienist trainee will actively participate in the reception of the patient and will ensure to assist the dentist in his care activities (4 hands work). The collaboration between the trainee dentist and the trainee hygienist will always be in the interest of the patient. Under the supervision of the room staff, the trainee will prepare the equipment and biomaterials necessary for the realization of the various treatments provided by the dentist. He will also apply the rules of asepsis and cleanliness necessary in a dental office. Finally, he will acquire the basics of sterilization by clearing the treatment tables himself and taking advantage of the advice and instructions of the sterilization staff. Although the observation internship is a passive internship, the student must demonstrate a certain pro-activity. He will get involved, will show great availability towards the dental trainees and the room staff. Availability implies that the student is effectively and efficiently present in the room during all of his internship hours.
