Print and Graduate Certificate a course that electronic media support services? Where am I dentists ‘should be thinking about’ supposed to go for that kind of The first dentist to receive the University of Adelaide’s new thing? Graduate Certificate in Dentistry can’t recommend the course enough to his colleagues. Dr Jonathan Rogers last year undertook the inaugural graduate certificate, which is the first of its kind in Australia to be offered externally to dentists. The graduate certificate enables general dental practi- tioners to improve and update their knowledge and skills in clinical dentistry. This is done through studying the theory of current dental techniques, as well as taking part in hands-on clinical work. Ideal for dentists who would like to remain in their practice while studying, the graduate certificate can be completed over a three-year period with entry to the course available at any time of the year. Dr Rogers, who works in general dental practice at Glenelg and North Adelaide, said the course suited him perfectly. “I’ve done a number of one or two-day postgraduate courses over the 20 years I’ve been in general dental prac- tice, but because I’m committed to general practice, and I believe in providing high-quality treatment to patients, I felt it was time I consolidated my knowledge and worked towards an extra qualification,” Dr Rogers said. “When the University offered this external course, it was ideal for me because it didn’t take me away from my Jonathan Rogers — praise for Graduate Certificate in For professional quality dental practice.” Dentistry.
