3-Day Patient Treatment Course
Course Description
This patient-treatment course in Nicaragua allows doctors to do many difficult, “surgical” extractions in a 3-day period. All surgeries are done with personal instruction from experienced clinicians who enjoy teaching and sharing ideas and techniques gained from years of doing hard extractions themselves. There will be a few cases of socket preservation.
If participants have not completed Continuum 1 (24 CE hours including 8 hours online and 16 hours hands-on with models and pigs jaws) then they will be required to watch 8 hours of surgery training (with testing) prior to going to Nicaragua.
