Dr. Fletcher and I are re-working the Hands On Extraction Class Experience.
Starting with the March 2013 class we are adding a "Planning" stage prior to every extraction.
This will be the time when the student dentist tells us exactly what they plan to do and how long it is going to take.
We want everyone to go home with not only the skills to remove the teeth, but also the knowledge to properly plan their schedules.
That way people will not be rushed and unable to properly determine how long a procedure will take them to preform
We believe that a Pre-Extraction Planning session and then a post-extraction huddle to discuss what went right, wrong, etc. and to see if the student met their time goal or not is essential to improving this class.
I am also reducing some of my lecture slides as we feel that I am being a little too repetitious and that it is making the lecture days run too long. So I have trimmed about 45 minutes off my lecture material. This will allow for more open discussion time on the topics and more bantering between the instructors as to how we differ on approaches to extractions and post op care, but in the end how we are both successful in treating the patient.
