Portfolio Guidelines
The porfolio shall be developed and maintained by the student online, using
the web-based Forum for AEGD (see Module 4: Student Portfolio). The completed
portfolio shall consist of the following parts:
- A title page and table of contents.
- A formal professional Curriculum Vita.
- A Professional Life-Long Learning Plan, developed by the resident and
reviewed and approved by the program director.
- A completed summary sheet with the competency and proficiency statements
listed and the signature of the responsible faculty member. Any procedure
observation forms that were used can be included in this section.
- Documentation of two formal treatment planning seminar presentations.
The treatment plan presentation shall include formal documentation of:
i. complete patient history
ii. dental examination
iii. mounted study models and photographs of the patient's pre-treatment
condition
iv. diagnosis of the patient's conditions
v. alternate treatment plans that could be accomplished for this patient
vi. write-up of the treatment plan presentation
vii. mounted print photographs of the x rays and clinical slides.
- Documentation of three cases involving multi-disciplinary comprehensive
care. c. The documentation for two of the cases shall include:
i. A complete write-up of the patient's history, examination, and treatment
plan and effect of patient's psychological, medical, or oral conditions
on the treatment plan.
ii. Mounted prints of photographs of the patient's pre-operative condition
and post-operative condition.
iii. A write-up summarizing the treatment performed, special considerations,
problems, or modifications encountered and prognosis and plans for further
care.
In the third write, the patient involved shall be someone with a complex
medical, dental, and social situation where there are non-dental factors
that impact on the treatment plan and/or delivery of dental services.
This write up shall describe how the patient’s complex medical, dental,
and social situation affected the treatment plan or the delivery of dental
services. The resident shall make one formal case presentation in front
of the faculty and other residents documenting complex, multi-disciplinary,
comprehensive care. The case presentation shall include the items listed
above with slides substituted for mounted prints.
- Documentation of measures of the following statements of provision
of dental care in practice, community, and inter-professional settings:
i. Treat patients efficiently in a dental practice setting.
ii . Use scheduling systems and insurance and financial arrangements to
maximize production in dental practice.
iii . Support the program's mission statement by acting in a manner to
maximize patient satisfaction in a dental practice.
iv. Use and implement accepted sterilization, disinfection, universal
precautions and occupational hazard prevention procedures in the practice
of dentistry.
v. Provide patient care by working effectively with allied dental personnel,
including performing sit down, four-handed dentistry.
vi. Provide dental care as a part of an inter-professional health care
team such as that found in a hospital, institution, or community health
care environment.
Measures shall be desiged and executed by the resident; a single measure
can be used for more than one statement. The results of these evaluation
efforts will be summarized in writing and presented to the program director
or assistant program director for approval. Possible measures are:
i. a patient questionnaire to be given to the resident's own patients
ii. a feedback form for feedback from the program staff
iii. a structured interview of two program staff or faculty
iv. a signed write up describing participation in a community program
v. other measure approved by the program director or assistant program
director.
- Write up of literature-based treatment considerations for treatment
of two patients. This project will take the form of written documentation
of two library research activities concerning the medical consideration
for dental care or dental procedure outcomesof a patient assigned to the
resident. These two write-ups will be at least one page each plus literature
search and references, use at least 3 referenced sources, and include
information about the patient’s history, a summary of the referenced literature,
and conclusions for treatment of that patient.
- Write up of literature-based considerations for use of a dental material
or procedure. This project will involve gathering and evaluating information
about a new dental material or procedure. It will take the form of a written
report. This write-up will be at least one page plus literature search
and references, use at least 3 referenced sources, and include a summary
of the referenced literature and conclusions about the use of the material
or procedure in dental practice.
- Write up of a dental records evaluation project, analyzing outcomes
from the resident’s own records. It will take the form of a structured
record review with written documentation, analysis, and conclusions.
- A section for other evidence (i.e. operative reports, certificates
of completion of specific training sessions, etc.)
- Other sections dictated by inclusion of other evidence approved by
the program director.
