B. Program Context

1. Explain why the program was established.

a. Summarize economic reasons, social or cultural reasons, technological developments, national policy
developments or other reasons.
In Saudi Arabia, dentistry is one of the health professions now attracting a large number of students of
both sexes. As the population of Saudi Arabia increases, the demand for dental treatment for this
population increases also. Numerous Saudi female dentists are already in practice. Understanding the
unavoidable social family needs and the demand for higher education by female dentists provides ideas
as more programs should be planned to accommodate the needs of Saudi female dentists. (Saudi Dent J.
2012 Jan; 24(1): 29–34.)
Several factors have been described in the dental literature concerning the choice of a career in dentistry.
Factors such as social standing and high professional status (Crossley and Mubarik, 2002); higher social
status and income (Crossley and Mubarik, 2002, Hallissey et al., 2000, Vigild and Schwarz, 2001);
ability to be self-employed (Hallissey et al., 2000, Jover et al., 2006); artistic nature of the career
(Hallissey et al., 2000, Jover et al., 2006, Stewart et al., 2005, Vigild and Schwarz, 2001); helping people
(Dal Poz et al., 2006, Hallissey et al., 2000, Stewart et al., 2004, Vigild and Schwarz, 2001) and general
interest in dentistry (Orenuga and da Costa, 2006, Stewart et al., 2004) have been reported as the most
important factors influencing their choice of career. However, the demographic characteristics of a
population is also an important determinant which influences the motivations and career expectations
among dental students (Bernabe et al., 2006, Khami et al., 2008, Orenuga and da Costa, 2006, Scarbecz
and Ross, 2002, Winter and Butters, 1998). Specialization in dentistry is needed to provide high quality
dental care for the population of Saudi Arabia; to serve community regarding oral health with special
emphasis on women and child care as well as to comply and fulfil with University mission.

b. Explain the relevance of the program to the mission and goals of the institution.

4. Learning Outcomes in Domains of Learning, Assessment Methods and Teaching Strategy

Program Learning Outcomes, Assessment Methods, and Teaching Strategy work together and are aligned.
They are joined together as one, coherent, unity that collectively articulate a consistent agreement between
student learning and teaching.
The National Qualification Framework (NQF) provides five learning domains. Learning outcomes are
required in the first four domains and some programs may also require the Psychomotor Domain.
On the table below are the five NQF Learning Domains, numbered in the left column.
First, insert the suitable and measurable learning outcomes required in each of the learning domains.
Second, insert supporting teaching strategies that fit and align with the assessment methods and intended
learning outcomes. Third, insert appropriate assessment methods that accurately measure and evaluate the
learning outcome. Each program learning outcomes, assessment method, and teaching strategy ought to
reasonably fit and flow together as an integrated learning and teaching process.

F Student Administration and Support

1. Student Academic Counseling
Describe arrangements for academic counseling and advising for students, including both scheduling of
faculty office hours and advising on program planning, subject selection and career planning (which might
be available at college level).
Academic Advising:
-Effective faculty and staff counselling can help students make the most of their education. A special
advising program is implemented and students should be referred there for advising on issues relating to their
majors.
-College Academic will provide undergraduates with counselling on academic regulations and procedures,
course selection, preparation for graduate and professional programs, selection of appropriate majors, and the
options and alternatives available to enhance education.

The office of the Vice Dean of Student Affairs:

Is a good referral source for students with legal and more general problems in their lives. The office works to
provide both support and challenge for students. It supports through the advisement of student honour
societies, and by recognizing students who have made outstanding contributions to the community. It also
challenge students by holding them accountable for their actions, and holding them to the highest standards
of academic and personal integrity.

The student’s psychological services:

Should be used if a faculty member believes that the student could benefit from professional psychological
help. Occasionally, students experience problems with an important relationship, school pressures, family
dysfunction, substance use and abuse, or interpersonal conflicts
