"In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, however, there is."
Our experience shows that for many starting dentists, the step from theory to practice turns out to be too high a step. The best way for a professional to build confidence is through work and experience. This is exactly the purpose of this course – to give you enough action while working side by side with one of the most experienced orthodontists in Bulgaria.
Applicants will be shortlisted candidates after a preliminary process and interview. Regarding the interview, we will draw up an individual program for them to move from theory to practice.
In order to guarantee quality and efficiency, places for the individual courses are limited.
