In this innovative and interactive course, practitioners will learn how to reconstruct straightforward implants. The course will be taught over six weeks through a series of modules based on our dedicated online learning platform, which includes hands-on practicals on models.
The modules will involve projects that will need to be undertaken at your practice, and some will involve an element of hands-on training on models. Each project will then be submitted to your course peers and faculty for comment and discussion. This will form the foundation of an immersive and peer-led learning experience the likes of which you may not have experienced before. Academy tutors will be on hand to add insight and feedback where appropriate and get you started on your implant journey.
The course has been designed to be extremely flexible for attendees, enabling delegates to fit the course around their day-to-day schedules. The work can, therefore, be completed at a time that suits the delegate.
