  This course will give the graduate students the opportunity to teach dental students in both the pre-clinical and clinical arena. This experience will allow the graduate students to grow in a different dimension by learning not just how to perfect their skills but also to learn how to communicate their thoughts and ideas and transfer that knowledge to other colleagues. The ability to successfully communicate ones knowledge adds a dimension of advanced understanding beyond the level of learning and performing the fundamental tasks needed to be a competent clinician.
