20 September 2018

Dental hygiene students are delving deeper into the determinants of health from a broad range of personal, social, economic and environmental factors that determine individual and population health.

An online module enhances students' understanding of Indigenous peoples and includes a variety of active learning strategies, from small-group discussions and narrated presentations, readings, podcasts and videos, to reflective learning whereby the students describe their feelings about the content presented. Topics include treaties, colonization, residential schools, Indian hospitals, oral health and health disparities.
