Description	This non-credit bearing module will be used to timetable personal development sessions for students in year 1 of the Dentistry, such as academic and library skills, resilience training, personal tutoring and to encourage the development of skills critical for the students to achieve their full potential on the course. In addition, as a clinical programme, it will be used to capture clinical related material for induction and compliance and professionalism work To achieve those goals, content will be focused on non-module specific skills acquired during the year. This will not require any additional assessment but emphasises and rewards engagement of students with these elements. The use of a portfolio within the Clinical Assessment and Feedback System will capture longitudinal monitoring. Furthermore, it ensures that students are not progressing with deficiencies in their skills which could put them at a significant disadvantage in the following year. Students shall normally be required to: 1. Attend, engage with and contribute to all identified compulsory teaching sessions. 2. Engage with their Personal Tutor during tutorials and reflect on the subject and transferable skills that they are developing with the aid of feedback that they have received. 3. Engage with professional / clinical responsibilities and requirements. 4. Demonstrate a reflective approach to teaching and practice through satisfactory completion of portfolio records.
