The trend towards curricular training is reflected in many offers of the chamber-supported training institutions and those of the professional organisations.
The Philipp Pfaff Institute, the continuing education institution of the Berlin and Brandenburg state dental chambers, is also responding to the increasing demand and is continuously expanding the main topics of the structured continuing education courses and curricula.
A comprehensive range of curricular training is available to you, covering various sub-areas of general dentistry, oral and maxillofacial medicine. Within the individual courses, thematically structured modules are offered that are aligned with the level of the DGZMK and take place under the scientific moderation of recognised capacities. The time frame comprises – depending on the subject area – between 3 and 7 weekends.
Participation in the modular advanced training will put you in a position to learn about the current state of a subject area through theoretical instruction, practical demonstrations and with practical exercises on the phantom or on (animal) specimens. Under the coordination and moderation of a colleague experienced in the specific field – who is ultimately also responsible for the scientific design of the curricular training – speakers come together to design coordinated sub-areas.
It is therefore almost mandatory to attend the training as a whole. However, this is indispensable if the participating colleague is aiming for certification.
Curricular training has been certified since the beginning of 2005. The requirements for certification vary depending on the course. Common to all events is that continuous and uninterrupted participation in the individual modules must be proven. Whether the acquired knowledge is “ready” is tested in a learning objective test following each teaching unit, which must be passed successfully for certification. At the end of the training there is a peer discussion. In some cases, job shadowing and supervision as well as case presentations complement the curricular training.
Successful participation in the Curricular Advanced Training is ideal for you to establish a focus of activity in your practice.
