Event Details

The MRACDS(GDP) Program is a modular educational program for general dental practitioners which supports the ongoing acquisition of knowledge and skills relevant to practice and provides a systematic approach to Continuing Professional Development (CPD). The program is intended to be flexible and can be tailored to a candidate’s interests and schedule. Assessments are completed at the candidate’s own pace over a two-year period.

The program has a limited intake of candidates per calendar year with places allocated on a ‘first come first served’ basis.

The program is broken up into the following:

Core modules (six compulsory subjects) which are assessed via eight Short Answer Questions (SAQ’s) per subject
Elective modules (choice of three out of six subjects) which are assessed via one case report per subject
120 hours of Continued Professional Development (CPD) over the course of the two year program
viva voce examination at the completion of the above assessments.

Core Modules

Candidates must sit the SAQ’s during the assessment rounds take place three times per year and are run over a period of five consecutive weekends per round. Candidates may apply for a maximum of one core module per weekend for each assessment round and must nominate the date/s and module/s they wish to apply for one month prior to the round.

Elective Modules

Candidates must submit 3 Case Reports throughout the 2 years of the Program. The three chosen elective modules are assessed via submission of one case report per elective that covers the candidate’s personal treatment of cases representing the broad range of issues covered in the chosen elective. The first Case Report must be submitted within the first year of the program.

CPD

For the MRACDS(GDP) Program, candidates must satisfactorily complete a minimum of 120 hours of appropriate CPD over a two year period that is relevant to the core and elective modules. It is recommended that candidates aim to complete approximately 12 hours of appropriate course content for all core and chosen elective modules. Candidates must dedicate a minimum of six hours relevant verifiable CPD to the content of each module, but must not exceed 18 hours.

Viva Voce

The viva voce is a 30-minute assessment and discussion of the case/s. It is conducted three times per year, and in order to be eligible candidates must have completed all assessments prior to enrolling.

Orientation Day

The MRACDS(GDP) Program holds an Orientation Day at the start of the year for each new cohort. The day is designed to provide information, guidance and a platform for new candidates to ask questions and interact with integral representatives of the College.

Should you wish to find out more information on the MRACDS(GDP) Program, please take a look at the GDP Handbook or contact an Education Officer on [email protected].

Calendar GoogleCal

Event Details

When a prospective patient calls your practice, there is still a lot of work required to get them on-board as a new patient. Without training, inbound calls in a busy practice may often be treated as an unwelcome interruption to the front office’s day.

PART 2

Handling the New Patient Call (continued)

Driving the conversation and handling questions, including those related to COVID-19.
Guiding the patient to an appointment.

The Telephone Shopper

Learning how to handle those callers who are “just asking” for information and prices.
Effective communication tools that will help convert shoppers into making an appointment.

Preparing patients for their appointments over the phone.

Setting expectations for a patient’s experience now and post COVID-19 is crucial to creating a positive experience.

Ask yourself; would you be satisfied with the treatment you received from your first point of contact with your practice? Remember, you only get one chance at making a good first impression, and it begins with that one phone call.

Live online training

Our live interactive courses are run by our expert trainers in a virtual classroom training environment. You will be engaged in a variety of topics using chat tools, question polls, breakout rooms and other live online activities! To engage in the training we recommend that you use your webcam and microphone to get the full immersive experience.

About PrimeGo

All live online training is supported by the PrimeGo, where you can review upcoming event sessions, pre and post readings, and complete quizzes, surveys and your certificate.

Come back as often as you wish to review learning, keep your profile updated, reflect on the latest Prime news and connect in the discussion channels.

CPD Accreditation

Prime Practice guarantees courses are compliant with the current Dental Board of Australia Guidelines on Continuing Professional Development.

* Number of accredited CPD hours depends on the length of the workshop.

AUDIENCE	Practice Owner, Practice Manager, Dental Assistant / Nurse, Front Office Coordinator, any one who answers the phone.

Dr Sharonne Zaks

Dentist
haronne was immersed in dentistry from an early age, working in her father and uncle’s busy practice as a receptionist and later as a dental assistant during her school holidays. Growing up in a family of very highly regarded dentists who were excellent mentors prepared Sharonne well for her future in dentistry. Sharonne graduated from Melbourne University in 1998 at the top of her class, receiving the Periodontics prize in her final year. She has over 20 years of experience in private practice in Melbourne and Daylesford/Creswick in regional Victoria. Caring, compassionate, gentle and very thorough, Sharonne has been very well received by all who know her. With her special interest in both periodontics and oral surgery, Sharonne manages advanced periodontal cases and is highly skilled with complex extractions. This saves many patients trips to specialists. She also has a very strong interest in treating anxious and phobic patients, and survivors of trauma. See the ‘trauma informed dentistry’ section of this website to view the video resources Sharonne has made for both dentists and survivors, and for more detail about this project. Sharonne loves the diversity of general practice, offering the full range of services. Sharonne is a passionate part time teacher, working with overseas trained dentists in the areas of periodontics, paedodontics and restorative dentistry to help them qualify to work in Australia. Dedicated to staying up to date, continuing education is another joy of dentistry and Sharonne regularly attends congresses and workshops both in Australia and internationally. She is a member of the Australian Dental Association. In addition to Dentistry, music is another huge passion. Sharonne regularly performs in her bands and loves composing on the piano and trumpet. One of her compositions was inspired by trains and can be heard below. In 2004 Sharonne created the first dental cabaret show: ‘Gobsmacked: a celebration of the mouth’ combining her two loves. This raised thousands of dollars for the dental treatment of homeless people which was donated to the Inner South Community Health service and the show was received with great reviews when performed at The Hilton Hotel at a dental congress and several music venues in Melbourne. It was designed to spread oral health messages to teenagers and make oral hygiene more sexy, especially flossing. In October 2014 she toured Australia for 6 weeks with her band Madre Monte playing the trumpet, as the support act for the world reknowned band ‘The Cat Empire’ . Fronting audiences of 3-6 thousand per night around Australia for 6 weeks was a huge thrill. Sharonne has an Advanced Diploma of music performance (piano). Her band ‘The Red Brigade’ have performed both locally and nationally at many music festivals, events and venues. Other strong interests include bushwalking, outdoor activities and character comedy. In 2005 Sharonne performed in the show ‘Four people and one lamington’ which sold out a season at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Course Overview

Name: Final Examination 2022 – FRACDS(GDP)
Start: 2022-1-10
End: 2022-1-10

As health care providers, the oral health team treats a board spectrum of patients who present with significant co-morbidity. These medical conditions come with increased risk in having a medical emergency during treatment or whilst in care. It is a community expectation that, as a health care provider, the oral health team can manage such emergencies until emergency services take over.

This course seeks to provide participants with the necessary skill set to meet not only the mandatory Board requirements but also the community expectations in the area of medical emergencies in the dental surgery. The course uses skilled providers of emergency medical training in conjunction with the latest high fidelity simulation training. Furthermore, this course has been modified by dentists for dentists reflecting real emergencies that have occurred in surgeries. Participants will be given protocol guides to assist in establishing medical emergency response at their surgeries.

We recognise that emergency medical treatment is not confined to the skill set of one person but rather there is a team approach to a successful outcome, therefore we encourage that dentists participating bring other members of their team. To facilitate this additional participant, non-dentist team members, are welcome at a significantly reduces rate.

Learning Objectives

Identifying the risk patients and staff pose
Recognising the importance of appropriate protocols
Recognising the importance of teamwork and the need to practice as a team
Knowing your emergency equipment and drugs, and
Develop the skills and knowledge to deal with a medical emergency

How to work stress and pain free. Prevention and recovery from workplace injury

There is no doubt that Dentistry is a very challenging profession. We work sitting down all day, in a confined space in a physically demanding position. Often it’s an emotionally charged environment and on people who for the most part, would like to be somewhere else. It is a recipe for STRESS!! Most of us have never been taught how to sit well and we often end up either tired, in pain or “crippled” at the end of our day.

This course has been designed specifically for all members of the dental team. While working in Endodontics for over 25 years, Dr Jones knows what problems the team experience and has found successful innovative techniques based on neuroplastic learning from the Feldenkrais Method. It is a profound but easy way to not only undo the damage already done but to prevent work-related injuries in the first place.

By addressing our bad postural habits this course can not only reverse some of the damage already done in the dental office but can prevent getting into trouble in the first place. It also has the added advantage of creating flexibility to improve your sports and fitness activities and help you come back to enjoying your body and grow old gracefully.

Dentists are encouraged to attend this course with their nurse.

Dr Penelope Jones

Dr Penelope Jones

Dr Penelope Jones practiced in an Endodontic Practice in Sydney for over 25 years after having been in General Practice in Sydney, Leeton and London for some years. In 1992 she completed 4 years of training to become a Feldenkrais Practitioner and Teacher at La Trobe University’s Lincoln Institute of Health Sciences in Melbourne. Her dental experience taught her what trials and difficulties Dentists and their staff can suffer. In the early days of practicing Dentistry she experienced serious ongoing pain herself almost to the point of having to retire The Feldenkrais Method became a tool for her to help herself and to begin to understand why Dentists and other seated workers have so many problems. The Method is excellent for addressing the fact that many of our problems come from bad postural habits. Most of us know this but have no way to change it

Course Overview

Dental practitioners are at high risk for musculoskeletal disorders and chronic pain, leading to decreased career satisfaction, reduced income, and early retirement. In this course participants will learn how to overcome risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders in the clinical environment, gain an understanding of the specific stresses placed on the dental practitioner’s body, and develop practical solutions to prevent and manage injuries.

This course contains both theoretical and practical components, including a:

Workshop on ergonomic postures in the clinical environment, and
A series of stretches and core musculature engagement exercises which can be performed in the dental surgery.

Discover the secret to building value for your patient to keep returning
Learn how to instantly build rapport
Master the art of catering to your patients individual communication

Restorative techniques

Presented by Dr Alan Solomon

They say you can’t teach new tricks to an old dog. But, the old dog often knows a thing or two about the old tricks! Restorative dentistry is largely predicable but we all get problems that bedevil our best efforts, which can leave us scratching our heads for an answer. We will walk you through some areas that can lead to patient dissatisfaction with our restorative attempts, and provide some remedies and ways to avoid them altogether.

Learn how to:

Recognise why a restoration that we think is acceptable may be deficient in a patient’s eyes
Identify contact point issues and how to manage them
Recognise what a ‘functional’ open contact is and options to manage it
Recognise potential problems before you restore the tooth so the patient is pre-informed and not surprised.

Post-operative pain: Causes of post-op pain and discomfort for common dental procedures, and current recommendations for pain management

Presented by Dr Michael Yoon

Is post-operative pain preventable? Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Know how to predict, prevent and manage post-operative pain to reduce your stress.

Post-operative pain is a part of dentistry. If not managed appropriately, it can develop into a stressful situation for both the patient and the dentist. Understanding the causes of dental pain can help clinicians predict what treatments may result in post-operative pain. Having this foresight will give you the opportunity to start pain management before the patient leaves the practice. Management may come in the form of communication, pharmacology and/or active treatment.

Learn how to:

Understand the causes of pain
Identify cases/treatments that are likely to induce post-operative pain
Apply various pain management strategies.
