WHAT IS THE CAMPBELL ACADEMY YEAR ONE IMPLANT COURSE?

LEARN TO PLACE STRAIGHTFORWARD IMPLANTS

The Year One Implant Course provides a comprehensive overview of straightforward implant dentistry. The course is the first stage of our Curriculum in Implant Dentistry, a training pathway developed in partnership with the International Team of Implantology (ITI) Online Curriculum.

We firmly believe that it is essential that people starting on their implant journey are supported and nurtured towards placing fifty implants per year. This contrasts significantly with the almost 90% of current implant customers in the UK who place less than fifteen implants per year. 

We believe that practical experience is an essential element of dental implant training, as lecture-based teaching or research alone can not make you competent at placing implants. Placing implants is a practical craft, a mixture of science and art that must be practised. To this end, The Year Implant course involves a considerable amount of practical experience with models, pigs and live delegate surgery on patients.

We have tied this course in with the Straumann Mentoring Scheme, meaning everyone who comes out of the course gets assigned a mentor to take the skills and move them forward. This is perhaps one of the most essential aspects, but the course is much more than that. It's so much more than the listed syllabus and detailed content.

It's all the conversations in the coffee breaks.

It's the games of table football.

It's the chats over a drink when you come to the course meals about where you're going next and how it will work in your place.

It's the lectures on marketing and how to access patients and the discussions about dental business and how implant dentistry fits into the model of your practice.

For some people, it's a year-long course, and then they're done. For others, it's a journey to Year Two and then Year Three, and for some, they come back and teach on the course as colleagues and friends.

All of the courses are linked through the ITI Online Curriculum and guide you on a journey towards obtaining the ITI Diploma in Implant Dentistry.

We've worked very hard and very long on perfecting this course, and we are extremely proud of the training pathway we have produced. If it sounds like a good fit, we’d love to see if we can help.
