COURSE: Fellowship in Temporomandibular Joint Surgery
NOVEMBER 2024 - MAY 2025
We want to present the first fellowship in temporomandibular joint surgery that was born from the idea of transferring our clinical and surgical experience to this field.
We thought of a fellowship to give participants something more than all the other conventional courses: participants will have the opportunity to carry out clinical practice by visiting and selecting patients on the first consultation, attending and participating in surgeries on selected patients in the operating room, and evaluating the outcomes of the operations performed.
Participants will be able to learn and use all modern technologies, such as computer planning, simulation, and navigation.
Participants will also have the opportunity to practice on fresh cadaver specimens.
Finally, knowledge will be gained regarding multidisciplinary conservative management, which is essential for the success of patient care and therapy.
The faculty is also composed of friends and colleagues who are very experienced in the field of temporomandibular joint, and the arthroscopic session will be done under the patronage of the "Academy of TMJ Arthroscopy.".
For this reason, the fellowship is reserved for only a small number of maxillofacial surgeons or residents of maxillofacial surgery to allow continuous education and learning.
