ماذا سوف أتعلم؟

The aim of our Dental Public Health postgraduate programme is to provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to lead and support the development of dental public health nationally and internationally.

Highly-trained public health specialists are required in Ireland and abroad to tackle issues such as health inequalities; their causes and solutions; communicable diseases; oral health; obesity; smoking and international health development. In particular, Dental public health is the science of preventing oral diseases, promoting oral health and improving the quality of life through organised efforts. It concerns not only actions directed at populations as a whole, but also at the groups and individuals that make up populations.

The Master of Dental Public Health (MDPH) is an innovative course designed to offer multi-disciplinary academic and experiential development. Our teaching model places emphasis on the following methods of learning:

student-directed learning
multi-disciplinary teaching and learning
problem-solving
skills training
flexibility

Our Dental Public Health programme will appeal to dental professionals who wish to develop the knowledge, skills, and commitment to developing services that are equitable and fair; and who wish to develop a greater understanding of the competing demands, resource implications, and expectations in providing a public dental service in the twenty-first century.

Programme Learning Outcomes for Master of Dental Public Health (NFQ Level 9, Major Award)

On successful completion of this programme, you should be able to:

Analyse critically and debate the theories and issues related to dental public health and effectively communicate their perspective to peer groups;
Construct arguments around the social, political and economic factors determining the health of populations;
Demonstrate competence in the key disciplines and theories underpinning public health including health informatics, epidemiology including needs and demands assessment, communicable diseases including healthcare-associated infections, biostatistics, social and behavioural sciences and social policy;
Design and discuss the provision, economic evaluation, management and leadership of health services;
Analyse and synthesise evidence-based research and its application to the practice of dental public health;
Develop and evaluate appropriate oral health protection and promotion initiatives at the population level;
Develop and apply research methodology by conducting a specified programme of research under appropriate supervision.

Dental public health is recognised as an important component of the modern dentist’s skill set. As populations live longer, the focus must be on adding ‘life to years rather than years to life’. Oral healthcare must be planned and delivered to optimise scarce resources. This successful outcome is fostered throughout the MDPH, exposing the student to research methods, fostering evidence-based practice, healthcare evaluation, and encouraging leadership, through structured modules.
