Chapter 6. Case-Based Learning

In your journey to educate the next generation of health care providers about the importance of oral health integration, you will adopt multiple approaches.

These may be offered together or independently. The first was designed for pre-licensure students with some clinical training. The second requires no prior knowledge.
