Brazilian Dental Students’ Perceptions About Medical Emergencies: A Qualitative Exploratory Study

“…The results of this study confirm that undergraduate dental students perceive a need for more intensive education in medical emergencies 8,21 and they strongly desire to obtain this knowledge, in contrast to what was speculated in another study. 13 We have proposed a spiral schema to clarify undergraduate dental students' perceptions about the interface between dentistry and medical emergencies in order to draw a parallel with the conceptual model underlying spiral learning, which consists of two fundamental tenets: 1) the purpose of a spiral curriculum is to provide a structure for iterative…”

“…One motivating "learning-by-teaching CPR" method recommended that medical students should teach CPR to cardiac arrest survivors in order to improve trainers' and trainees' knowledge of life support skills. 34 The value of simulation for medical students is controversial: extensive emergency simulation practice did not result in feelings of confidence in an actual emergency since it did not simulate the frightening reality, 21 but simulation did allow for the application of theoretical knowledge in a safe and realistic setting, developing teamwork skills and a systematic approach to a problem. 35 Blended learning, a "combination of multiple approaches," 36 would seem to be a reasonable way to teach dental students about medical emergencies, but this approach should be developed and investigated.…”

Graduates’ and Employers’ Perceptions on Competencies Obtained from An Undergraduate Dental Curriculum

“…The lack of training and inability to cope with medical emergencies can lead to tragic consequences and sometimes legal action (Peskin & Siegelman 1995). Other studies in New Zealand (Broadbent & Thomson 2001), United Kingdom (Graham & Scollon 1996), Brazil (Carvalho, Costa & Marcelo 2008) and Germany (Kaeppler et al 1998) also reported similar findings regarding the need for enhanced teaching strategies for the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery discipline in the undergraduate curriculum. Limited exposure in this area at the primary dental care setting may partly explain the reported poor competency in this area.…”

“…However, health authorities must implement this legislation as soon as possible. In UK, dental students participate in a similar course at least once during their study period (16), while in USA, training in medical emergency is obligatory in 41 out of 43 Schools of Dentistry. Specifically, in 22 (51%) of 43 Schools of Dentistry, education in medical emergencies is a distinct course, while in the remaining Schools it is incorporated in other courses (17).…”
