Protocol

Hey everyone, 

Sorry this is so late...I was in WI rubbing a pregnant belly this weekend, and really didn't want to leave. 

I talked to Lynn Getz at the Tech College in Madison earlier this week, so I didn't ask about their FMP protocol.

The program accepts 36 DH students in the fall and includes 4 core semesters. Students are encouraged to take elective courses during the summer months so they are not trying to do them simultaneously with their core DH courses.

There are 6 FT DH faculty, and 15 PT faculty including 5 DDS from the community.  The PT faculty are not allowed to be more than 50% time, while the FT faculty are scheduled 5 days a week on campus. They are not allowed any days during the week for private practice work (they are expected to do this over the summer and during breaks), however, they are all scheduled one day without student contact to help develop courses and prep for clinics.  

I thought this was interesting because I know the U of MN allows one day during the week to stay active in private practice when they are FT.

I am trying to find some articles for support on the FMP protocol, but will not be ready with much for class tomorrow. My initial thought is that anyone who has had Periodontal Therapy should have probing measurements taken at every recall, but I don't really have any articles supporting this theory of mine. Hoping to have much more later this week.

See everyone at class.
