This workshop aims at leading participants into implant practice during the course within 6 months.

Put theories into practice
It is designed to put theories into clinical practice. Participants will begin to experience a brand new challenge in the discipline of Oral Implantology.

Observe, assist, practice and perform
Personal hand-held supervision in the surgeries so that participants will gain maximum clinical confidence in different clinical scenario.
Performing surgeries and all other procedures both with live patients.
Performing simulated surgeries with artificial alveolar ridges prior to clinical cases.
Participants shall be invited to assist or observe in live surgeries and other clinical procedures.

Familiarization before investing
No initial investment in expansive surgical units, surgical kits and GBR material is needed because all of these shall be provided during the course. Participants will familiarize with the system and equipment before they decide to buy. They do not need to keep stock for anything more than what they will use in their next case.

Group learning is most effective and fun
Small size study club environment for participants to share their experience in different cases. Discussions among themselves for Patient Selections, Diagnosis, Treatment Planning, Surgical Procedures, Choices in Prosthesis and problems encounter in each stage enhance learning experience.

Trained to become an Implant Practitioner rather than course attendee
Participants are expected to complete at least 1 or more implant cases within 6 months. They shall be trained to become confident to further their successful lifetime practice in Oral Implantology. They shall be interested in further training in advanced procedures for further advancement in their challenging career.

Scientific lectures for a comprehensive knowledge in Oral Implantology
Participants attend a comprehensive scientific lecture and presentation series every other week for 6 months. Relevant literature and reading material will be introduced for in-depth knowledge of various topics.

Credentials of training
Membership and Fellowship of Internationally recognized College of Implantology would be introduced upon completing of training course in Entrance and Advanced level respectively.
