UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA LAS VEGAS

SCHOOL OF DENTAL MEDICINE Competencies for Graduates of the DMD Program Introduction The UNLV School of Dental Medicine Competency statements describe the level of skills and knowledge in each critical area of the curriculum required for graduation from the DMD program. These competencies define the skills required to make the transition from provision of patient care under the supervision of faculty to the independent practice of general dentistry. The faculty of SDM recognizes that there is a higher level of skill described as proficiency that is attained over time and with experience and indicates mastery in each area. The faculty also recognizes that each of these competencies requires a foundational, integrated knowledge base in biomedical sciences, professional studies, and clinical sciences. It is important to note that these Competencies describe entry level skills with the understanding and expectation that competency will improve to proficiency over time. The UNLV SDM Competencies are standards that apply to all age groups of patients including the child, adolescent, adult and geriatric patient, and to the medically compromised patient. In some cases the student will be the primary provider of the procedure and terms such as “perform”, “provide”, “restore”, or “treat” are used. In other, sometimes more advanced procedures the student may perform some of the treatment and will also oversee and coordinate treatment provided by others, or refer the patient to another health care provider. In those cases, the term “manage” is used.
