Abstract
ESTRADA-DONET, Yudisley; NAPOLES-JIMENEZ, Norberto Juan and GONZALEZ-RODRIGUEZ, Esperanza Zoe. Optional course for fourth grade students of stomatology about COVID -19 and periodontal illness. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2024, vol.28, n.1 Epub Jan 01, 2024. ISSN 1561-3194.
Introduction:
health education in Stomatology favors in a beneficial way the formation of the student in general as a future graduate and this allows him/her to take hold of the competences that every professional in Stomatology should have, mainly in subjects such as COVID-19 and periodontal disease.
Objective:
to design an elective course for fourth year stomatology students on COVID-19 and periodontal disease.
Methods:
developmental educational research, executed from January to July 2023. Theoretical and empirical methods were used, as well as the consultation of updated bibliographies; and the execution of analysis and contrast of criteria. Results: an optional course was designed for fourth-year undergraduate students, consisting of four topics, all of them with a content system (objective, skills and values), and where the use of different teaching-learning methods was achieved.
Conclusions:
the elective course was designed to contribute to the better preparation of fourth year stomatologists on the influence of COVID-19 in periodontal disease and to enrich their professional profile in general, which will provide a better performance of them as health professionals and especially in the formation of human resources from the medical sciences.
