Dear Postgraduate Student,<\/p>\n

I am writing as the Director for the postgraduate programme in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery to welcome you to Manchester and to your programme of study.<\/p>\n

I hope that you all made it to Manchester without too many problems and that you are getting settled into the accommodation you have arranged.<\/p>\n

Your first few weeks will be packed with new experiences, from finding your way around Manchester to making new friends. In addition to learning a new clinical routine, you will also embark on what for most of you will be your first experience of carrying out research in some format and I hope that you will find it both interesting and rewarding.<\/p>\n

Bear in mind we are always here to support you and I hope you will soon feel confident in your new environment and ready for the challenges ahead.<\/p>\n

I wish you success in your future educational endeavours.<\/p>\n

\"Helen<\/p>\n

Yours sincerely,<\/p>\n

2. PROGRAMME OVERVIEW<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>2.1 Introduction<\/h3>\n

The Division of Dentistry at the University of Manchester has an international reputation for teaching and research. The MSc in Clinical Dentistry (Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery) has the advantage of integrating \u2018control of pain and anxiety\u2019 and \u2018applied medicine and surgery\u2019 subjects into the programme. A further strength is the strong link with the International Cochrane Oral Health Group that is based in Manchester and a consequent emphasis on the current research evidence for clinical care. The curriculum is directed by research active clinical academic staff. A wide range of surgery is undertaken in the department including facial trauma, cancer and reconstruction, secondary cleft, implant and bone grafting, salivary gland, jaw joint and dento-alveolar. Within the three year programme there will be additional opportunities to undertake residential courses, conferences and study periods relating to the specialty. This will include exposure to anatomy and general surgical techniques (cadaver course) and implantology (hands-on laboratory-based surgical course and residential didactic taught course).<\/p>\n

This is a highly integrated programme which comprises four components:<\/p>\n

1. Research Methods (15 credits)<\/p>\n

2. Biostatistics (15 credits)<\/p>\n

3. Specialty Clinical Component (90 credits)<\/p>\n

4. Research Unit leading to a Dissertation (60 credits)<\/p>\n

This handbook includes information on the aims and objectives, structure, content, teaching and learning methods, programme management, and assessment. It should be read in conjunction with the PGT Handbook.<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/h3>\n
