  1. Community Based Clinical Teaching:The Student View Tom Bysouth Fifth Year Student Cardiff University School of Dentistry

  2. Why does the student view matter? • Consumer based society • Input into our education • Tuition fees • The real stakeholders?

  3. The evidence • End of term feedback sheets • 2003-2004 • 2005-2006 • 2007-2008 • Anecdotal student evidence • Positives, negatives, comparisons with hospital teaching

  4. Positives • Nursing support • Clinical freedom • Staff attitudes • Organisation • Bridge gap between hospital and VT

  5. Nursing Support • At St David’s we have our own nurse • Most popular answer • Efficient working • Confidence • Team working • “Having nurses that want to help you should be a fundamental part of the clinical experience – they alone make the biggest difference in our improvement”

  6. Clinical Freedom • Treated as colleagues • Treatment planning • Book own appointment times • “Shorter appointment times allows us to see more patients and allows us to be more aware of time management”

  7. Staff Attitudes • Friendly and approachable • “Teaching and staff were all brilliant, good feedback and questioning of why I am doing things” • Good working environment

  8. Organisation • Kept busy • Free slots always filled • Seminar programme • Prepare for VT • Talk about wider aspects of dentistry

  9. Bridging the gap • Geared up to environment more akin to VT • Patient contact • Control • “I’ve learned more practice skills and now feel prepared to practice”

  10. Negatives • Computerised notes • Time to learn • Not spending enough time in Community Based Clinical Teaching • Nothing • “not easy to find dislikes about this place”

  11. Comparison with UDH • Overriding theme: Cardiff students enjoy CBCT • Different challenges • “learning environment is student friendly” • “You enjoy what you do here” [St David’s] • Reasons stated previously

  12. Conclusions • Evidence presents a positive picture • The Cardiff experience is fantastic • Builds upon the solid foundation of dental hospital • Logical skill progression • Excellent experience on treating patients in the community
