Part 1 of the Advanced Removable Prosthodontics course will allow Prosthodontics residents to develop an in-depth knowledge of the fundamental and advanced prosthodontics concepts and knowledge of the literature as it relates to research and clinical practice. It will give evidential support to all clinical procedures performed. The course will be taught in a lecture and seminar format by graduate faculty from the prosthodontics division and will present and discuss topics in various aspects of removable prosthodontics. Residents will be assigned articles related to the topic of discussion that need to be reviewed each week prior to the scheduled seminar. Residents are required to provide written and verbal summaries and critique of each article that is reviewed. A rigorous multiple-choice format written examination is required by all participants to successfully complete the course.
