Our Master of Science in Oral Surgery provides a unique and highly relevant approach to clinical oral surgery. The MSc is delivered by leading clinicians and scientists who will help you develop the skills and knowledge to provide high quality, safe and effective clinical care, based on the latest clinical evidence. The clinical content of the programme includes the management of patients with complex medical problems; simple and complex extractions; management of the complications of oral surgery; surgical removal of roots and unerupted teeth; management of wisdom teeth and odontogenic cysts; and the diagnosis and management of facial pain. Your clinical knowledge and skills will be underpinned by an understanding of the latest evidence-based practice and clinical guidelines. Your understanding of research methods and interpretation of research data will be enhanced through tutorials, seminars and journal clubs, equipping you with the skills to produce your own independent research dissertation. Design and provision of a modern clinical service requires a deep understanding of the principles of clinical governance, including clinical audit. On this programme you will learn how to apply the audit cycle to your own clinical practice and compare your outcomes to the best available standards. You will also gain experience in application of service improvement methods. These techniques developed in other industries have been adopted widely by healthcare providers. Clinical highlights of the programme include: - Hands-on experience of treating patients under local anaesthetic and general anaesthetic - Dental radiology - Medical emergencies - Management and treatment planning of patients with complex medical problems. Research highlights of the programme include: - Introduction to the skills needed for conducting scientific research, both qualitative and quantitative, including literature searching and critical analysis, project management, ethical issues and data analysis using appropriate statistical methods - Formulate ideas and hypotheses to develop and prepare an individual, original research dissertation.
