This is the final course in the Oral Surgery series. Under the close supervision of two highly experienced Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons, participants will be encouraged to apply their newly acquired oral surgical knowledge to practice oral surgical procedures through multiple practical exercises. Upon completion of this advanced course participants will have an enhanced knowledge of oral surgery techniques.
This course has been designed to provide participants with the optimal balance between lectures and practical components. There will be an emphasis on practical exercises and the provision of real time feedback. Anatomical models will be used so that participants are able to recreate a clinical scenario. Upon completion of this course the models can be kept for future reference.
