Orthodontics at the UCLan School of Postgraduate Medical and Dental Education

A new orthodontic course under the leadership of Professor Ross Hobson promises great things; I wish them well.

Orthodontics at the UCLan School of Postgraduate Medical and Dental Education

The UCLan School of Postgraduate Medical and Dental Education has recognised the need to have Orthodontics as a key speciality to complement its current postgraduate programmes and  is in the process of establishing  a course in orthodontics.   This will be a 4 year part time M.Clin. Dent. conforming to the curriculum and training programme set out by the UK Specialist Advisory Committee in Orthodontics.
Professor Ross Hobson who is an accomplished teacher and clinician is  to be the academic lead and the training programme will be based in  the recently opened university campus  dental clinic.
The process of recognition to enable trainees sit the MOrth examination is in progress and should be completed early in 2013.  Already there has been substantial interest shown by potential applicants who will be kept on hold until full approval has be achieved, at which time the course details will be advertised.

Any student who wishes to register their interest in this programme can email meddent@uclan.ac.uk with their contact details.

Further course information will be available in due course.
