A product of the transformation process in South Africa, this Faculty is firmly rooted in the struggle for the social, political and economic well being of the South African community. The Faculty plays a prominent role in the advancement of oral health in South Africa and Africa in association with the WHO, by engaging with the broader social, political and economic determinants of oral health, and through the training of well-rounded professionals with a holistic understanding of development, health and oral health care. The ethos of the Faculty is one that actively promotes participation, democracy, equity, transparency, innovation, good governance and a deep respect for the rights and well-being of all.

This Masters programme in Dental Public Health is a flexible learning programme for students on campus or living and working elsewhere in the world. Aims and Objectives of the programme To improve district oral health services by developing the capacity of health personnel to plan, manage and deliver oral health services. The course focuses on the provision of knowledge, skills and qualities required to run successful oral health programmes. It aims to develop proficiency in community diagnosis, assessment of oral health needs, developing and managing strategies to meet those needs and methods for evaluating oral health services. You will graduate from this course with a unique combination of health care management and applied DPH knowledge and skills that will build on your previous training and experience in oral health. After completing this programme you will be able to: demonstrate knowledge, skills and qualities related to priority DPH issues address the underlying social and environmental determinants of health and oral health contribute to DPH policy, planning and programmes plan and supervise health research to support oral health promotion and care develop a community profile and diagnosis establish and use a DPH health management information system prepare and implement budget plans and funding proposals communicate and work effectively with individuals and groups using different media. Programme Structure The programme comprises four main components, namely an Introductory Module, a Dental Public Health Module, a Research Preparation Module and the Research Report (mini-thesis). The Introductory Module at the start of the programme is designed (1) to orientate the student to all aspects of the learning process, (2) to assist the student to contextualise the course material within the broader conceptual environment of health, public health and development, and (3) to initiate the thesis research process. The programme includes activities that will enhance academic literacy during this time, including reading, writing and learning skills and computer literacy. The student will prepare a short situation analysis of their community for submission and evaluation by the end of this period. Aims of the Dental Public Health Module is to (1) study 10 high priority DPH problems, (2) to provide an integrated learning activity where each DPH case is examined using the tools provided by a variety of dental health and public health disciplines, and (3) to contextualise DPH within the broader environment of public health and society. Students will work through these different DPH scenarios guided by the calendar of deadlines and goals provided. Each case is designed so that students engage the resources of a variety of different disciplines in order to understand and respond to the issues at the core of each DPH case. Three written tasks will be submitted for evaluation during this period. The Research Preparation Module sets out (1) to prepare students for the necessary research skills to design, carry out and write up a piece of research as their MSc thesis, and (2) to utilise this integrated task as a common theme in the learning of a variety of academic literacy, numeracy, computer and research skills. The assignment tasks include the preparation of a literature review and a completed protocol.
