Oral Medicine is a unique discipline within dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis and non-surgical management of orofacial disease. The Oral Medicine Department at the University of Washington strives to be a global leader in the diagnosis and management of disorders in the orofacial complex whose treatment may fall between medicine and dentistry.
Training in Oral Medicine combines elements of both dental and medical education to enable graduates to provide holistic care for patients with orofacial disorders, oral manifestations of systemic disease, orofacial complications of medical therapies, and other medical complexities that affect the delivery of traditional dental care.
Program Goals, Objectives, and Competency Assessment
The primary goal of the post-graduate program is to develop oral medicine specialists with expertise in scientific methodology, clinical diagnosis, and therapeutic management of orofacial disorders who are capable of pursuing careers in academics, research, and specialty practice.
Graduate students successfully completing the Oral Medicine program will be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge and proficiency in the assessment and management of oral mucosal and salivary disorders, oral pre-malignant and malignant conditions, sleep-related breathing disorders, acute and chronic orofacial pain conditions (including temporomandibular dysfunction), orofacial neurosensory disorders, motor dysfunction in the jaws, and orofacial manifestations of systemic disease and disease therapy.
- Demonstrate knowledge and proficiency in medical assessment as it relates to the management of orofacial disorders and the maintenance of orofacial health in patients at all levels of systemic health (including the medically complex).
- Demonstrate knowledge and proficiency in the selection of appropriate clinical, laboratory, and radiographic examinations in the diagnosis and management of orofacial disorders.
- Demonstrate knowledge and proficiency in the design and implementation of evidence-based preventive care and treatment regimens in the management of orofacial disorders.
- Demonstrate knowledge of and proficiency in hospital protocols and policies and the management of patients with special health care needs and/or orofacial complications within a hospital setting.
- Demonstrate expertise in the clinical and pharmacologic management of patients with orofacial conditions, including patients with special medical and/or behavioral needs.
- Demonstrate expertise in clinical teaching and oversight of pre-doctoral dental students in the delivery of urgent and emergent dental care, including the diagnosis and management of acute pain, odontogenic infections, and dental trauma.
- Demonstrate knowledge of the basic sciences, scientific methodology, and research design. Display independent critical thinking in the evaluation of scientific literature and the ability to incorporate novel information from this analysis into the clinical setting.
- Conduct research related to oral medicine.
- Develop a spirit of community involvement and volunteer service that extends to fellow Oral Medicine Residents, the University of Washington, and the healthcare needs of the broader community
