Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of the course, students will:

• Identify and describe the key beekeeping equipment and their functions.
• Explain the biology and behavior of honeybees, including the roles of queens, workers, drones, and how these contribute to colony health.
• Design and plan an apiary layout by evaluating site selection factors and setting up basic hive structures.
• Conduct basic hive inspections to recognize signs of colony health, common pests and diseases, and implement appropriate management strategies.
• Understand the honey production process and sustainable beekeeping practices that support environmental health.

Modality:

This is a hybrid course that leverages the Canvas learning management system for online, self-directed didactic instruction and moderated discussion, combined with face-to-face, instructor-led field trips.

Class Size:

Maximum enrollment is 9 students to ensure quality interaction and personalized attention, particularly during the field trips.

Participants will learn how, when, and why to best employ medical measures for dental disease management while considering therapeutic treatments as being in the interest of patients in diverse socioeconomic populations. Specifically, we will learn indications and contraindications to sealant, silver diamine fluoride(SDF), and ITR placement. We will review and explore emerging topics and materials in minimally invasive dentistry to include Povidone Iodine; Papacarie Duo; Nanosilver Fluoride technology; P11-4 (curodont); and arginine. The hands-on portion of the course will provide participants with an opportunity to place glass ionomer pit and fissure sealants, SDF, as well as practice ITR placement on teeth. Evidence supporting rationale and technique will be presented.
