Course Structure 

This course is designed to provide a dynamic and interactive learning experience for students. While the course will have five lectures, the learning activities will be designed to go beyond passive learning.

The lectures will be infused with interactive discussions and exercises to engage students and encourage them to think critically about the topics covered. This approach to learning will help students to retain information and apply their knowledge in real-world settings, leading to a deeper understanding of dental public health and its principles. By fostering a supportive and collaborative learning environment, students will have the opportunity to participate in meaningful discussions and activities that deepen their understanding of dental public health and its importance.
