ACFD announces the 2021 National Dental Teaching Award to Dr. Christophe Bedos of the Faculty of Dentistry at McGill University.

Christophe Bedos is an Associate Professor at McGill University Faculty of Dentistry, and Co-Director of the RSBO (Quebec oral and bone health research network). His teaching content and approach for undergraduate and graduate students and the broader professional and public communities is highly innovative. Furthermore, his teaching is not just focused on the immediate learning outcomes of students and other learners but on promoting a paradigm shift in the way we teach dentistry and the way dental care is provided in our communities. Christophe’s work focuses on a model of “social dentistry” that aims to promote a discussion of patient-centred care and a focus on those sectors of society that are least able to access care for a range of reasons. He relies on transformative learning theories and uses visual arts and the humanities in his courses. Among his innovations, in his role as Co-Director of the Reseau de recherche en sante buccodentaire et osseuse, he has initiated the use of cartoons to translate research findings to the public and professions. His vision for dental education stipulates that dental schools should:

1. Adopt biopsychosocial training frameworks to replace the dominant biomedical perspective.
2. Increase the weight of “structural competencies” (social dentistry) and embed them into all aspects of the curricula.
3. Use transformative learning approaches to critically reflect on social phenomena.
4. Offer transdisciplinary learning in partnerships with medical and non-medical schools.
5. Tirelessly promote humanistic values and social justice.

March 2018 – AGM

University of Manitoba launches master’s program in prosthodontics

A new three-year Master of Science degree program in Prosthodontics will be launched in August 2018 by the College of Dentistry in the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba.

The U of M, located in Winnipeg, is one of only three universities in Canada to offer a graduate prosthodontics degree.

The program will provide a strong foundation in classical prosthodontics, along with intensive training in state-of-the-art aesthetic dentistry, digital workflows, CAD/CAM technologies, dental microscopy, and placement and restoration of dental implants.

Strengths of the U of M program include a low instructor/resident ratio, well-balanced clinical and didactic programs with a critical approach to literature, and opportunities for clinical research.

The 36-month program, under the directorship of Dr. Igor Pesun, will lead to a Certificate in Prosthodontics combined with a Master of Science in Prosthodontics. Successful completion of the program will satisfy the formal training requirement for eligibility for the Royal College of Dentists of Canada and Canada Fellowship. Fellowship is required for licensure as a specialist in Canada. Graduates will also be eligible for the American Board of Prosthodontics certification examination.

The program has applied for accreditation by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada.

The deadline for admission in August 2018 is October 1, 2017.
