Are you dreading feline extraction cases? Unsure how to get good dental radiographs in cats and how to interpret them?

This course is a blended learning course. Lectures will be delivered online prior to the practical day, allowing a full day of cadaver-based surgical skills, putting into action the techniques previously learnt. This course aims to equip you with all you need to know to complete your next feline dental consultation and procedure with confidence. The course fee includes a set of IM3 dental instruments to use during the practical and take home at the end of the course.

This course consists of recorded webinars and a day of practical sessions. Please note: The online lectures are a pre-requisite for attending the onsite day (these will be available to view approximately 4 weeks prior to the practical day). These lectures allow you to learn at your own pace and can be listened to at a convenient time. This allows delegates to have more time once onsite for practical, hands-on teaching sessions. On the practical day, the tutors will be happy to answer questions relating to the online lectures, however to get through everything planned for the practical day, they will not be able to cover the content in the same level of detail as the online lectures. It is therefore imperative that all lectures are viewed in advance of attending.
