2021 as a new and separate stream (Integrated Case Studies) delivered via online sessions.
Treatment Planning
2021 CSS delivery was delivered in a hybrid model, with the treatment planning stream
remaining in an online format. The focus of the treatment planning stream did not change
therefore, faculty expected the students to demonstrate the planning skills they had acquired
by integrating the learning from across all the courses to which they had been exposed in the
past two years.
Patient Communication
We felt that the feedback received, and the successful completion of the pandemic model
was phenomenal thereby impacting how we viewed delivery of this stream in CSS 2021. It
was incorporated in a new model, and we consider it a valuable advancement for the
profession.
The model affords student education and training to be virtual and as such can also be
adapted by clinics to conduct patient education sessions in this format. We feel that providing
patient care education and training virtually, when planned appropriately, is an innovative
and evolving model which could be adapted across many settings.
