Workplace Supervisor IntroductionWorkplace Observer IntroductionAs part of their training, all students are required to participate in a structured work placement. This placement is used in conjunction with the online learning program as conducted by Foundation Education for the course HLT45015 Certificate IV in Dental Assisting - Radiography.
The aim of the structured work placement is to give students the opportunity to gain practical experience in a real work environment in order to complement the knowledge gained through the online learning as provided by Foundation Education. The emphasis is on students developing practical skills, integrating theory into practice, and analysing structures, functions, policies, and procedures within the context of being a dental assistant.
The student will be required to complete, at minimum, the below hours of work as a dental assistant:
50 hrs in a simulated environment; and
250 hrs in a dental practice
As the supervisor, you will be required to observe these sessions and complete observation checklists, which can be found in the students workbook. These sessions relate directly to the units of competency that the student is studying with Foundation Education.
It is important to note that although the number and type of hours is a guide only, they are the minimum sessions that the student needs to complete. As the supervisor, you can provide the student with additional experience and request that they complete additional tasks that are specific to your workplace.
You are also required to sign each entry that the student makes in this logbook. Your signature verifies to Foundation Education that the student has completed the sessions listed in the logbook. At the end of this logbook, please complete the supervisors report and add any final comments on either the students or Foundation Education.
This logbook must be uploaded to the students MyeCampus. The student is responsible for this. It is important that the student be aware that they will not graduate from their course until this logbook has been uploaded to MyeCampus and verified by a Foundation Education assessor.

Observation ChecklistStudent Introduction Simulated and Practical hoursTo support the work placement that you have completed, your supervisor will need to complete the observation report for all units of competency within this qualification. You will need to complete:
50hrs in a simulated environment; and
250hrs in a dental practice
These simulated hours allow you to role play scenarios based on the expectations of the role and the practical component to follow. You will notice that there are two observation checklists for HLTDEN001 Prepare for and assist with oral health care procedures appears. Your workplace supervisor must complete both observation reports once the tasks have been successfully completed by you and observed by your supervisor. The observation reports are used to record the outcomes of ongoing observations by the workplace supervisor throughout your period of study. These observations are made at the workplace under normal operating conditions and are based on competencies outlined by the Health Services Training Package.
Your workplace supervisor needs to ensure that you have received adequate instruction to successfully and safely complete each task.
Your workplace supervisor also needs to ensure that the venue, equipment, and materials are both available and safe. Simulated conditions are only to be used when the work placement environment is limited by safety and environmental factors and by human and physical resources.
You must be observed performing the task on multiple occasions, and your workplace supervisor should be confident that you are able to perform the task consistently before they initial and date the column associated with the task.
Your workplace supervisor will grade your performance for each criterion with one of the following:
Student meets task criteria without assistance
Student requires assistance to meet the stated criteria
Student did not prepare accordingly.
Not applicable
Note: You are required to perform each task to satisfaction. If you do not, your workplace supervisor must ensure adequate opportunity for you to achieve a satisfactory result by providing further instruction.

Instructions for the student
The observation checklist is used by your workplace supervisor to observe you demonstrating the application of the required skills and knowledge during your work placement.
There are three main components to this Observation Task:
You are required to demonstrate your ability to apply safe work practices whilst preparing 3 patients for an X-ray.
You are required to apply quality assurance steps during the production of 3 X-ray images to ensure they are of diagnostic standard, and ensure that technical errors are minimised by implementing corrective measures.
You must submit copies of three X-rays you have produced to My eCampus. Ensure all confidential patient information is removed from each image and the X-ray identified by using the Patient ID number from your workplace Patient Management System.
As these will be conducted in a work environment, you will need to ensure that you behave in a professional manner and in accordance with the Code of Practice and Safety Guide for Radiation and the WHS policies and procedures of your workplace. Ensure that you have access to this documentation and familiarise yourself with these before attempting the practical assessment task.
You and your supervisor will need to sign and date this page once all performance tasks have been completed to industry standards. You will then submit these documents to be reviewed and assessed by your qualified trainer and assessor.
