PPED 811 - Contemporary Evidenced-Based Pediatric Dentistry Journal Club

Cr Hrs: 2 (32-0-0)
This seminar is an ongoing review of current, pertinent, professional literature in various subject areas associated with pediatric dentistry and related sciences. For postdoctoral students, knowledge of current professional literature is essential to developing theoretical and practical patient management skills. The assessment of current literature for its evidence-based value is critical. Journal Club provides a mechanism for surveying major dental periodicals to identify important articles, reviewing those articles, and discussing each article in an open seminar format. Students in the Pediatric Dentistry Program participate in this seminar each week throughout their two-year residency in order to stay abreast of the ever-expanding volume of pediatric dentistry literature. Seminars are led by the Pediatric Dentistry faculty. Other guests and members of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center faculty are invited to participate when their expertise on the seminar topic is considered beneficial to the learning experience.
