Dental students may request an assignment of a Limited Care patient at any time by electronic submission. Limited Care Patient Requests are to be submitted electronically to the Director or Patient Relations. While assignment requests will be filled in the order they are received, there may be times when a request that is too specific will delay the process and other requests will be considered for assignment in the interim.
Additional considerations regarding the assignment:
-
Students must have a Limited Treatment request on file for assignment.
-
Students will be allowed 2 (two) Limited Treatment patients in their patient family.
-
Students will not be assigned another patient until treatment is resolved on the previous patients assigned to them.
-
Students must complete all Limited Treatment assignments. Patients will not be re-assigned.
Once the student has accepted a Limited Care patient, they are responsible for every procedure specified on the form including any required follow-up care. Limited Care patients may be taken directly to the proper clinic(s) for treatment or consultation as necessary; a work-up and treatment planning is not needed unless requested by consulting faculty. The Workflow for Limited Treatment Patients can be found in the Clinic Binder in each clinic faculty office. The “official” Clinic Binder is now available in axiUm. The location is axiUm/Links/Clinic Binder.
