This is an online training program that covers the essential elements which are required to be able to provide the foundation from which a successful long term outcome can be achieved for the patient requiring advanced aesthetic and restorative treatment.
It comprises of 8 units that include study material which is delivered online in a multimedia classroom format followed by a 2-part assessment (unit 7 and unit 8).
The educational material has been developed and is supported by text, video and interactive material and is in close association with the 2017 publication “Practical Procedures in Aesthetic Dentistry” published by Wiley. Delegates will get online access for 2 years to view all the lectures, videos and study material. This will enable the busy dentist to complete the course at their own pace from the comfort of their home without taking too much time off from practice.
Assessments Understanding of the course content will be verified by: 1) Multiple Choice Questions – This is a self-assessment module where a delegate needs to pick the correct answer from the given options. Whilst taking the MCQs the online tutorials are unavailable. If a learner does not achieve the 50% (pass score), resits can be taken and the tutorials become available again. 2) Short Answer Type Questions – This is a faculty assessment module where a delegate will be required to submit short answers for the exam questions that will be assessed by the faculty. This will not receive a specific grade just a pass or fail will be notified. Candidates who fail will be allocated to a faculty member for feedback and based upon an interview process be awarded a pass. In certain cases a resubmission of an assessment will be required and this not incur any further cost to the delegate.
