Program Design (January 2016-August 2017)

Phase 2 - Program Design1) Guiding Principles finalized

2) Develop Curricular Structure:Step 1: Determine Curriculum Development ModelStep 2: Develop Program Competency FrameworkStep 3: Determine Program Sequence and ClustersStep 4: Align with Existing ProgramStep 5:Prototype Development- White Papers

Integrated Courses

Students will learn more if the

material is meaningful and

relevant to them and their

perceived role as a dentist

(Oliver, 2008).

Ensure that basic sciences and

clinical learning occur within

close proximity (Kulasegaram,

2013).

Each session and its associated

content should create explicit

and discernable linkages for

learners (Kulasegaram, 2013).
