PRECEPTORSHIP INFORMATION

This Preceptorship consists of an annual review and updated curriculum that is clinically focused while incorporating the latest research from the clinical basic sciences. This will provide the participant with an understanding of the rationale and scientific basis for the clinical practice of implantology.

The participants will meet for five weekend sessions which will include didactic sessions and some hands-on training experiences in an interactive learning environment.
