Oral Surgery (Advanced Training) MClinDent

Advances in research mean that oral surgery is continually evolving, enhancing patients’ clinical experience. This programme combines theoretical and clinical elements of oral surgery to create an enjoyable balance of academic study and patient care and giving you a strong foundation for a career in this field.

Clinical skills training is held within our new university facilities and gives you the chance to develop and refine your surgical skills, using microscopes and imaging equipment. The clinical, patient-facing aspects of the programme are nearby, in our new hospital environment, where you will take part in consultation clinics, local anaesthetic, conscious sedation, and general anaesthetic oral surgery operating sessions. You will also observe inpatient oral and maxillofacial surgery operating procedures.

Lectures provide a theoretical knowledge base, complemented by interactive seminars, case-based discussions, and problem-based learning, and you will also complete a research project and written dissertation.

The course lasts for three years, meeting the requirement for recognition of completion of training in the UK and most other countries. The oral surgery syllabus covers the curriculum recommended by the UK General Dental Council and the Royal College of Surgeons of England for oral surgery specialist training.
