Hopefully it applies to all aspects of our lives and not just our dental CPD. some may argue that this is achieved by experience and in part this is true. But dentistry is a solitary existence and there is so much to learn from others. in addition dentistry is changing with a greater level of innovation and technology in the last five years that in the last 50. if we don’t embark on structured education we may not just be left behind but get swept up into something that we don’t want and may even be bad practice for our patients. there are many two day corporate sponsored courses, but often these focus on specific techniques, materials or technology. it is for these reasons that James Cook university has decided to introduce a complete CPD program for 2019 covering all aspects of clinical dentistry: full denture prosthodontics, radiology, crown and bridge, oral surgery, oral medicine are but a few examples. these courses are run over a day or afternoon and have been designed to deliver a state of the art overview in bite sized chunks. the courses are planned with a regional, rural remote context in mind and are designed for clinicians to apply skills to their everyday practice. the courses are affordable, easy and fun. u You’re welcome to review the program at www.events.jcu . edu.au/dentshcourses and dip into those programs of interest. Cost and timing has been designed to be as effective and attractive as possible. Structured education Prof. Neil Meredith By Professor Neil Meredith, Director of Postgraduate Dental education
