Module 7: COVID-19, Global Lessons for a Global Profession

Welcome to Module 7: COVID-19 and Global Lessons

This module introduces concepts such as COVID-19’s links with oral health and systemic health, syndemics, problems within a fractured healthcare system, COVID-19’s impact on provision of dental care, and digital oral health. While there are numerous resources and references available about these topics, for the purpose of this module, we have curated a small sample of high-quality resources to support the learning outcomes. We encourage learners (and educators) to explore the literature further, beyond what is contained in this module.
