An Introduction to the Programme
A WORD FROM
THE DEAN
The primary objective of the IMU Postgraduate Diploma in Prosthodontics Programme is to provide dental practitioners the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills in Prosthodontics; to plan and treat a variety of patients ranging from minimally to moderately complex prosthodontic cases. This programme is designed to support the training for working dental practitioners by using a flexible modular mode of delivery and a wide array of teaching methods supplemented with guidance from personal mentors. The training emphasises the provision of care based on current evidence and best practices utilising appropriate technologies and specialised techniques. The programme covers knowledge acquisition through face-to-face and online lectures, case-based discussion, skills development through hands-on training in the simulation lab, and clinical experience through patient care at the IMU Oral Health Centre and at the student’s own workplace. This programme aims to produce graduates who are able to provide accessible and affordable prosthodontic care and coordinate a multidisciplinary approach in improving aesthetic and functional outcomes. Graduates are expected to be able to update their skills through lifelong learning and share their expertise with their peers.
