Well executed presentations of treatment plans will greatly increase patient acceptance and satisfaction. Faculty members from various departments will facilitate a two hour discussion of the Theme assigned to each session. They will be assisted by additional faculty from contributing departments; and there will be assigned reading for each Theme. Following the discussion portion each week, three to four students will present clinical cases.
