Course Introduction:

As it was our yearly plan to hold summer and winter schools every year here at TUMS dental school, we have decided to follow our plan this year as well, but with a whole new structure. The routine of the program in previous years was to invite the applicants to our school, hold hands-on workshops along with presentations and cultural events. This year, due to the COVID-19 crisis, it was not possible to hold a non-virtual event; 

Therefore, we have decided to organize this event virtually. The event is run by SICoDS(Students International Committee of Dental School), which is supported by the chief of international affairs, TUMS. There are going to be lectures from pedodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, restorative dentistry, periodontics, prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial medicine, oral and maxillofacial pathology, community oral health, and dental biomaterials departments, along with videos of demonstrations, case presentations, student competitions, cultural panels, COVID-19 and dentistry panel and lectures of the professors from all over the world’s best universities. The program will be held on the ZOOM platform. We are also going to document all programs in the offline format in navid learning management system. The aim of this school is to connect the students worldwide, with the goals of education, collaboration and to provide the applicants with the newest knowledge available in the field of dentistry, in order that they acquire new visions and learn something besides the routine classes.

Length and Date:

This school will be held in 5 days, from February 13th to 17th 2021, including interactive lectures, case presentations, demonstrations, student competitions, cultural panels and COVID19 and dental practice panel.

Teaching Strategies:

The course will be delivered not only through interactive presentations, but also case discussions and demonstrations.

Why joins this course? and  What do you learn?

As dental students, it is recommended to experience and attend different events worldwide, in order to have collaborations with other students and professors internationally, learn from them, and be provided with new visions and clinical points aside from dental education. This can later come into practice, when these students graduate and want to embark on their journey as a dentist.
