Stage I 

Stage I courses extend over the first two years and comprise a series of courses which specify and integrate dental content into the disciplines of Human Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology, Community Medicine, Pathology, Microbiology and Pharmacology and include early exposure to medical and dental patients and the teaching of basic clinical medical and dental examination skills. Specific dental courses and special study modules in dentistry are included in the Stage I offerings. Students are required to complete three (3) foundation courses /nine (9) credits.

• Two (2) foundation courses/six (6) credits are to be completed by the end of Year 2.

• One (1) foundation course/three (3) credits is to be completed in Year 3.

• Please see the course offerings below or consultant with The School of Dentistry for further guidance on the Foundation course requirements for the DDS programme.

Note: Caribbean Sign Language, another of the possible Foundation courses, is a mandatory course in Year 3 and must not be done in years 1 or 2 for DDS students. i. (MB.BS BMedSic & DDS students are not allowed to do the FOUN1014 course in Semester 1; it is to be done in Semester II).

Stage II 

Stage II Courses extend over the last three years and are divided into two parts.

i. Part 1 covers Years 3 & 4, and is comprised of a series of Basic and Advanced Dental Sciences courses which include Dental Anatomy, Dental Materials, Operative Dentistry, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Oral & Maxillofacial Radiology.

ii. Part 2 covers Years 4 & 5, and is comprised of clinical practice and a dental research project. These courses are all designed to achieve competency in these areas, and are all integrated on the academic-pre-clinical-clinical competency attainment continuum.
