Department of Medical Dental Sciences and Dental Education

The original design of the educational and clinical programs required the integration of resources and an intense reliance on information technology. The department of Dental Education and Informatics was built to centrally manage an integrated curriculum with a clinical delivery system placed in clinics. The Office is department into two divisions – (1) Dental Education and (2) Informatics.

The Dental Education Division coordinates the curriculum, maps and schedules all of the course elements, implements all examinations, mediates the problem-based learning networks, consolidates all outcomes assessments, and facilitates the lectures, labs, seminars, and clinic schedules.

The Dental Informatics Division installs, updates and manages server-based, computer-based software packages for the clinic and educational operations. In addition to clinical patient record systems, this division manages the teledentistry networks that connect all clinics, lectures halls, simulation clinics and community service learning centres.
