There may be an educational system and i do believe that the IAS from what i have experienced because it travels from simple to complex removable to fixed... Jaz's Introduction: What's the best thing about online courses like i mean i've done a lot of online courses and even more in-person courses and what i love about online courses is the ability to rewind and re-watch and skip forward and to go to that exact point which you need which sometimes in like an in-person course if you're watching someone do a technique or if you're in a lecture component you sometimes just relying on your notes thereafter and you lose that magic of revisiting that exact moment which you can with online courses. So i think the future of dentistry and dental education is very much online courses i mean i know in-person courses has its place but there is something magical about the revolution with online courses in dentistry, however and it's a big however is because i want to tell you about the mini smile makeover course this is a sponsored episode by enlightened and mini smile makeover but i wanted to give you some context and perspective right? So online course is awesome because you get to revisit. Now what i loved about the mini smile makeover course where i went around about 18 months ago so and really enjoyed all the pearls that Dipesh Palmer shared and i relied on my notes and the little handouts they gave but the beautiful thing about the course is that they allow you once you go on the course and you become a delegate, they allow you to come again in the future and sit at the back so you're not actually you don't actually get to the hands-on bit again because obviously that's for the paying delegates but because you've done their course you get to sit in the back and you can bring your laptop you know note making and sometimes the ability to re-watch that live presentation, the live lectures and the beauty of being able to network again with fellow dentists is just sensational. So i think that's a wonderful model to carry out dental education i actually really wish and hope that this catches on and other course providers will also allow you to you know once you go on their course allow you to come again in the future and just sit in the back and absorb and that's another reason why when someone asked me which composite core should i go on i'm very quick to recommend the mini smile makeover of course because of this ability to go again and i look forward to joining them this summer for my revisit.
