Successful UK Elective Program Completes: 14 Students Excel Under Expert Guidance in Clinical and Academic Institutions
06 Aug 2024

We are delighted to announce the successful completion of the second elective program in the UK by our 14 students. Under the expert supervision of Mr. Eiad Qudairat and Dr. Mais Qasem, our students had a truly enriching experience.


Their journey took them through some of the UK's leading clinical and academic institutions. At Queen’s University Belfast, they explored postgraduate research and higher education opportunities. The students also spent a day at the Kingsbridge Training Academy, an accredited training body by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, where they engaged in hands-on suturing techniques training. Additionally, they visited the High Street Specialist Oral Surgery Clinic and the Greenwood Specialist Dental Clinic.


During Simodont placements at NIMDTA, the students experienced haptic virtual simulation sessions on both basic and advanced dental procedures. Furthermore, they underwent two days of intensive communication skills training.


We extend our deepest gratitude to the program organisers and partners whose support made this success possible:
