Gen Y Dental Trauma Education for Dental Students: Real-Time, Interactive and Leading Edge
CE: 0
Description: Millennials (also known as Generation Y) are a generational demographic cohort. The Millennial generation is generally characterized by an increased use and familiarity with communications, media, and digital technology. Adopting classroom teaching and curricula to the specific interests and skills of this generation poses a challenge in dental schools’ settings. Dental 2 traumatology is a complex topic and requires multi-disciplinary understanding and comprehensive knowledge. Using various innovative and dynamic techniques for classroom teaching might improve the participation and cooperation of the new generation of learners and thus improve the overall educational outcomes of dental traumatology education. Apart from learning about the fascinating differences between generations, the audience will become familiarized with the unique characteristics of Generation Y dental students. A discussion will address specific challenges that educators face in the classroom when teaching dental trauma. During the session, incorporation of technological aids will be demonstrated, and finally, the audience will learn some useful ‘take-home’ methods to enhance dental trauma education.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Define generation Y and the characteristics of dental students in Gen Y.
- Discuss the challenges educators face within dental trauma education.
- Demonstrate the use of technological aids in the classroom to enhance dental trauma education.
