Description
This Master’s-level programme in Oral Surgery is designed for dental professionals looking to advance their surgical skills and expertise in oral surgery. Designed with flexibility and easy access to learning in mind, this part-time programme aligns directly with the General Dental Council (GDC) approved UK Specialty Curriculum in Oral Surgery.
The curriculum delivers all the theoretical learning outcomes in the curriculum but does not include the clinical training component that full time programme includes. This provides learners with the theoretical knowledge, necessary to underpin clinical practice, required by a UK specialist and helps prepare them for the Specialty Summative Examinations administered by the Royal College of Surgeons.
This part time programme aims to enhance participants abilities in confidently diagnosing and treating patients with oral surgical problems which include the management of impacted teeth, cysts, and benign oral pathology, as well as minor oral surgical procedures. It provides the same theoretical learning as that provided to learners on the full-time programme but does not provide a supervised clinical component.
Through a learner centred, practice-oriented approach, it empowers learners by enhancing their theoretical foundation and clinical proficiency (in a simulated environment) to allow them to provide high quality care in the management of patient requiring routine and complex oral surgical procedures.
