This program will feature online lectures and hands-on sessions in the School’s state of the art laboratory.

Program Delivery – Online Blended Learning and Hands-on Pre-clinical session

• Online web lectures via Learning Management System, Canvas.
• A short MCQ (multiple choice questions) to cement your knowledge on the lecture   topics. An additional one hour of Scientific CPD is awarded.
• Online Live Q&A Session for follow up questions and interaction with the presenters.
• Hands-on Pre-clinical lab session – this session is only available to participants who have first completed the online blended learning lectures, MCQ and Live Q&A session.
