Professional Life-Long Learning Plan

Step 4: Evidence of Accomplishment

Portfolio Guidelines

The porfolio shall be developed and maintained by the you in a web-based Forum for AEGD (see Module 4: Student Portfolio). The completed portfolio shall consist of the following 12 parts:

1. A formal professional Curriculum Vita (see template and sample CV).
2. A Professional Life-Long Learning Plan, developed by you and reviewed and approved by the program director.
3. 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.)
4. Documentation of two formal treatment planning seminar presentations; one on dental materials and the other on clinical practice. The treatment plan presentation shall include formal documentation of:

1. complete patient history dental examination
2. mounted study models and photographs of the patient's pre-treatment condition
3. diagnosis of the patient's conditions
4. alternate treatment plans that could be accomplished for this patient
5. write-up of the treatment plan presentation
6. mounted print photographs of the x rays and clinical slides.

5. Documentation of two cases involving multi-disciplinary comprehensive care. The documentation for two of the cases shall include:
     i. A complete write-up of the patient's history, examination, and treatment plan andthe impact of the     patient's psychological, medical, or oral conditions on the treatment plan.
      ii. Slides of photographs of the patient's pre-operative 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 second case, 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 should describe how the patient’s complex medical, dental, and social situation affected the treatment plan or the delivery of dental services. You will make one formal case presentation in front of the faculty and other residents documenting complex, multi-disciplinary, comprehensive care. The case presentation must include the items listed in i-iii above.
6. 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 called Best Evidenced Based Techiques (BETs) concerning the medical consideration for dental care or dental procedure outcomes of a patient assigned to you. Both 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 each patient.
7. Write-up of a dental records evaluation project analyzing outcomes fromyour own records. It will take the form of a structured record review with written documentation, analysis, and conclusions.
8. A section for other evidence (i.e. operative reports, certificates of completion of specific training sessions, etc.)
9. Other sections dictated by inclusion of other evidence approved by the program director.
