Abstract

Students preparing for exams often retain the complexities of a subject but instant recognition and recall is something that, for most, takes time and consistent, repeated study to establish. This can happen through well-managed spaced learning (iterative study) prior to examination; given the preponderance of massed study (cramming for a subject),1 however, many students require long-term exposure in the clinic to patients’ medical histories to achieve instant recall. Understanding the applied pharmacology of common drugs is a current American Dental Association accreditation standard. Ideally, dental students should demonstrate a consistent level of basic drug recognition and the ability to retrieve that information prior to encountering patients.
