TABPRA1A Oral protetikk 4 - fast protetikk Emneplan

Undervisningsspråk: Norsk

Praksisstudier ved tanntekniske bedrifter skal primært bidra til at studenten utvikler sine ferdigheter tilknyttet fremstillingsprosedyrer og teoretiske prinsipper i en autentisk yrkessituasjon. Sentralt står dialog rundt ulike løsningsalternativer og produksjonsformer. Studenten skal i størst mulig grad involveres i yrkesfellesskapet og delta i den daglige produksjonen av tannerstatninger.

Klinisk praksis omhandler kompleksiteten rundt den kliniske tannbehandlingen, mangfoldet av pasienter, og ivaretakelse av deres behov og rettigheter. Profesjonell kommunikasjon og forsvarlig samhandling mellom tannhelseprofesjonene står sentralt.

Fordeling av studiepoeng: Teori 5 studiepoeng og praksis 25 studiepoeng.

Bestått første og andre studieår eller tilsvarende.

Etter gjennomført emne har studenten følgende læringsutbytte definert i kunnskap, ferdigheter og generell kompetanse:

Vurderte praksisstudier: Vurderingen tar utgangspunkt i læringsutbyttene for emnet og den løpende vurderingen som er gjort av studenten gjennom praksisperioden. For å kunne gi en vurdering av studenten kreves det minimum 80 prosent tilstedeværelse i praksis.

Ny vurdering: Dersom studenten får vurdering «ikke bestått» i ekstern bedriftspraksis og/eller klinisk observasjonspraksis må studenten ta hele praksisperioden på nytt.

The legal basis for this plan is laid down in Act no. 15 relating to Universities and University Colleges of 1 April 2005 and the Regulations Relating to the Degree of Philosophiae Doctor (PhD) at Oslo Metropolitan University (hereinafter referred to as "the PhD Regulations").

The PhD programme in Health Sciences is a three -year full-time study. Candidates who successfully complete the programme will earn 180 credits and qualify for a PhD in Health Sciences.

The PhD programme in Health Sciences has an interdisciplinary focus. Key elements in the programme are interventions in health promotion, preventive health care, treatment, rehabilitation and care. Health is a complex and comprehensive phenomenon that involves interaction between biological, physical, psychological, behavioral, and social dimensions. Although the respective professions and disciplines place different emphasis on dimensions of health, they share a common understanding of the goal to promote health and quality of life.* In the training component of the PhD programme, candidates learn about research and work methods that can directly or indirectly contribute towards knowledge-based assessment and interventions at individual and systemic levels. The training component will enhance the depth and breadth of the candidates' professional knowledge so that they develop an independent and reflective approach to both their research and to that of others, as well as to the role of research in a broader context. It will also support the candidates in their work on their thesis.

* Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Disease in the Western medical paradigm is the malfunctioning or maladaptation of biologic and psychophysiological processes in the individual; whereas illness represents personal, interpersonal, and cultural reactions to disease or discomfort.

The PhD programme in Health Sciences is offered by the Faculty of Health Sciences, which has a long experience in educating professional practitioners. The faculty trains professional practitioners in the disciplines of: biomedical laboratory sciences, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, prosthetics and orthotics, radiography, pharmacy, nursing, dental technology, and social education. The faculty also offers training in public nutrition, behavior analysis, and management, among others. Research training is often linked to professional programmes and therefore promotes research collaboration within the field of practice.

There is a need for better integration and coordination of health services with large user groups, to include more emphasis on preventive measures. Coordination involves several different health care professions and actors and is contingent on cooperation. Many actors are involved in research projects aimed at developing the knowledge that will be needed to meet future challenges: municipalities, health trusts, universities, university colleges, research institutes, patient organisations and competence centers in the health and care sector. This is also highly relevant for needs-led research which seeks to answer questions that have not already been addressed through previous research (knowledge gaps) and whose relevance has been legitimized and prioritized by patients and other individuals receiving services, relatives, and/or healthcare professionals. The need to train personnel with research competence in many health professions is therefore significant. Strengthening multidisciplinary** and interdisciplinary research is vital for developing better care pathways for individuals with complex needs who would benefit from cooperation between the respective professions.

**By "multidisciplinary" it is meant combining input from multiple disciplines aimed at resolving a common problem.

Research training in health sciences offers opportunities to apply for academic positions at universities, university colleges, health trusts, and research institutes as well as for positions in other areas in the public and private sectors with a need for competence in the health sciences. The PhD programme in Health Sciences will provide professional practitioners the opportunity to gain research competence and thereby contribute to improving coordination within the health and care sectors. Furthermore, the programme will help establish sound research environments and provide a basis for research-oriented training and practice. The programme also qualifies candidates for teaching and supervising students and colleagues in health sciences.

The target group for the programme comprises individuals with an interest in the health sciences. Potential candidates may be admitted directly from studies or from work life in the case of professional practitioners with master's degrees seeking to enhance their levels of competence and knowledge or from research institutes involved in health science projects. Applicants from other professional backgrounds who wish to participate in health science projects may also be admitted.

Applicants to the PhD programme must hold a master's degree (120 credits) or equivalent qualification. Admission to the programme is regulated by the Regulations Relating to the Degree of Philosophiae Doctor (PhD) at Oslo Metropolitan University, and the Supplementary guidelines for the PhD programme in Health Sciences. According to the PhD Regulations, section 2.2, applications for admission to the programme must contain:

A. Documentation of completed education on which the decision regarding admission should be based (certified copies of original certificates).

B. A project description containing

• an academic account of the project
• a progress plan for completing the programme
• documentation of special needs for academic and material resources
• plans for stays at other institutions, where applicable
• academic dissemination
• specification of the chosen language for the thesis
• details of any restrictions on intellectual property rights to protect the rights of other parties

C. A funding plan.

D. A plan for the training component.

E. A proposal for at least two academic supervisors.

F. An account of any legal or ethical issues raised by the project.

G. Details about whether the project requires permission from research ethics committees or other official or private bodies. Such permission should be obtained and enclosed with the application, if possible.

Decisions on admissions are based on an overall assessment of applications. The doctoral degree committee at the Faculty of Health Sciences at OsloMet shall consider admission applications.

Admissions to the PhD programme in Health Sciences are considered on an ongoing basis. Pursuant to the Regulation, section 2-6, admission to PhD programmes is formalised by a written contract between the PhD candidate, the supervisor(s) and the Faculty of Health Sciences.

The courses included in the training component can also be offered to students who have been admitted to the “Health Science Research Programme, 60 ECTS”, by prior approval from the supervisor and based on given guidelines for the research programme.
