The CbD (Case-based Discussion) form is a record of an assessment of your dental performance made from a presentation of clinical treatment you have carried out. You provide a verbal presentation of your management of a case, usually to your Mentor using the clinical records, radiographs, models, photographs, etc. that are relevant. An assessment is then made of your performance.
The clinical situation is recorded at the top of the form. This will cover one or more of the listed clinical competencies, which need to be identified.
The assessor scores your performance in each of the categories, and then will spend time with you giving feedback and discussing the learning needs which are highlighted by your assessment. Once feedback has been given, you assessor also gives a score on your insight into your performance.
You need to complete at least ten CbDs before the end of the Month 9, of which three need to be completed before the end of Month 5. One CbD will need to be presented formally and assessed at the Scheme study day.
