PA-019 - Teaching the Management of Dental/Medical Emergencies: A Collaborative Approach

As ‘integration’ and ‘interprofessional’ have become buzz words in dental education, we would like to draw your attention to a Dental Emergency course, which brings together a basic scientist, an oral surgeon, a paramedic and a SimMan in the delivery of a truly integrated course. This course promotes an integrated approach to student learning, using high fidelity mock emergency scenarios, to encourage the development of practitioners who can think quickly, critically and analytically. Using this as a model, the presenters will take the audience on an engaging journey on how to effectively implement collaborative teaching.
