The School of Dentistry has utilized tablet-style portable PCs for the past few years as a required technological adjunct for students, including those in the Dental Hygiene program. The primary purpose of the utilization of the academic/clinical software is for clinical chair-side applications.

Wireless Internet in the clinic enables students to access patient education websites at chair-side, or anywhere on the Corktown Campus, using their tablet PCs. This allows students to provide visual references and print materials for their patients to take home.

Below are a few highlights:

• Patient demographic data
• Patient arrival notification
• Patient appointment scheduling: performed within operatories
• Medication websites
• Product websites
• Explanations for health-related conditions (Google search)
• Billing of completed procedures

Faculty members have the ability to enter and track student performance at chair side. Highlights include:

• Clinical Evaluation System
• Student performance
• Clinical Performance Monitoring System
• Real-time, on-line chair side evaluation of students
