The GAOI®’s Mini Residency is designed to jump start the general dentist to incorporate dental implants in his / her practice. All 3 modules are completed in 6 months. Emphasis is placed on the clinical and patient management aspect of dental implantology. Students earn additional 72 CE hours (protocol hours) upon satisfactory presentation of their clinical work in between modules. Although each module can be taken independent of others, dentists are encouraged to take all 3 modules for thorough understanding of the possibilities in implantology. Protocol CE credits are available only to those who attend all 3 modules.
