Programme
Background
Orthodontic treatment is an indispensable component of comprehensive dental care. Many undergraduate curricula do not provide sufficient practical knowledge for orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning, and mechanics. This programme is designed to offer a coherent, comprehensive, and systematic pathway for general dental practitioners to achieve safe, evidence-based practice, supported by workplace-based training and credible assessment.
Program Overview:
Two programmes are delivered in collaboration with HKIO and the Department of Orthodontics, School of Stomatology, Ninth People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, with academic liaison to the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd):
- Diploma in Orthodontics (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Ninth People’s
Hospital) — a 2.5-year, part-time training route for general dental practitioners. - MOrth (RCSEd) Training Programme — a 3.5 year, post-Diploma, advanced part-time pathway aligned with the RCSEd Membership in Orthodontics standards.
General Requirements:
The candidate must be a registered dentist in the country/region, obtained a dental degree, and/or the candidate is presently practising.
Candidates are required to attend all the prescribed components.
Each registrant must enroll 2 well-documented patient cases.
Registrants must treat patients under continuous supervision of qualified trainers.
All trainers must be registered centrally at the Program Management Office and formally appointed by the Program Coordinator.
Each theoretical course is concluded with an assessment.
