CATEGORY AUSTRALASIAN DENTIST 37 EVENTS critical thinking so clinicians can diagnose and treatment plan appropriately, and judiciously apply appropriate procedures based on the case and their own skill level.” Dr Habibi explains that this requires a balance of evidence-based theory, clinical observation and case presentation with discussion, and practical hands-on opportunity on models and specimens with live tutor feedback and tips. Dr Habibi adds comment on the inclusive culture of the institute. “Tutors on our academy have been selected not just for qualifications and clinical experience, but for accessible and generous personalities in teaching that students enjoy interacting with. When I embarked on this venture, the culture and “people factor” of our Academy was equally important as its expertise,” says Dr Habibi. “It has been very encouraging to see our students consistently noticing and commenting on this.” The intensive and friendly culture of the practical course weeks provides opportunity for the learners to get to know each another and their tutors from around Australia, whilst immersing into a clinical and practically oriented mindset. “I found the tutors a very caring group of people. I think all the students really bonded with them and one another because of the teaching style, which added to the enjoyment of the week,” wrote another. “It has been a great experience and I wish I had done it sooner,” wrote another. “I am encouraged when the learners start to approach their clinical cases with new eyes, and a higher expectation of themselves. The increase in their clinical standards is always evident – for some like night and day,” says Dr Habibi. Dr Maria Hui attended the six Day Implant Immersion Intensive this year and wrote to The Implant Institute to share her experience: “Really loved the approach and appreciate the amount of effort you and the demonstrators put in. I’ve done so many courses, but this has to be my favourite. Thanks for an amazing week!” The Implant Institute provides education at levels to suit every learner, from its week courses to its PGDip (Dent Imp) program with CADI. There is a unique opportunity for its PGDip (Dent Imp) graduates to progress Master of Science in Advanced Dental Implantology through the award-winning Aston University, allowing dentists from Australia and the region to study and earn a MSc (Dent Imp) without travelling to Europe or elsewhere.
