King’s College London Dental Institute, ranked 2nd in the world for Dentistry (QS World University Rankings 2018), has made considerable progress in introducing its world-class education to the region by announcing a joint venture on two unique courses with Institute of Medical Aesthetics in Dubai.
Aiming to enhance the skills of GDPs performing minor oral surgical procedures at their own practices, the two upcoming courses, which include a Minor Oral Surgery course, are expected to contribute to reducing the number of patients referred to hospitals, by helping GDPs acquire the skills to deliver these often simple procedures at their own practices.
Excellent clinicians, outstanding UK teachers and exceptional facilities are involved with this initiative which reiterates Dubai’s commitment to become an internationally recognized hub for quality healthcare and education.
Bill Sharpling, Associate Dean for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and Director of the London Dental Education Centre (LonDEC) at King’s, is delighted that this initiative with the Institute of Medical Aesthetics has come to fruition.
Mr. Sharpling says “We look forward to working with IMA and running 2 jointly organised courses in 2018. These 2 and 3 day CPD courses, taking place in Healthcare City, will enable dental professionals from the Emirates and surrounding regions to see how King’s delivers its dental education. We’ve identified Dubai as an important centre to hold our training and currently also teach some cohorts of our distance learning master’s courses here, giving students convenience and flexibility. We are delighted to have further opportunity to provide positive learning experiences and demonstrate the quality of education that underpins our short courses and our master’s degrees available in all aspects of restorative dentistry.’’
Dr. Dilshad, CEO of the Avivo group of companies, says “IMA ‘s joint venture with King’s College London is in keeping with IMA’s educational mission to extend international standards in the region, in medical fields that are in high demand. This venture also reaffirms IMA’s large portfolio of courses which are now ranging from aesthetic medicine and dentistry to aesthetic surgery and anti-aging medicine. We are delighted to have the opportunity to represent King’s clinical and teaching excellence, and believe that the 2 short courses in oral surgery and aesthetic dentistry offered will be of unmatched standards.”
The first course in the series is set for April 21-23 in Dubai with an aim to plan for minor oral surgery procedures, avoid surgical complications and complex dento alveolar procedures associated with Dental Implantology.
