We are excited to announce EODO’s 3-year Orthodontic Mini-Residency Programme! Designed to start you on the basics and take you to advanced orthodontics, this programme covers everything from history taking, examination, cephalometrics, and photographs to managing complex malocclusions using surgical and non-surgical techniques (including hands-on) and case finishing with a focus on retention.

This comprehensive programme also provides in-depth knowledge of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD), multidisciplinary approaches for managing compromised cases, interceptive orthodontics, Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), and Sleep-Disordered Breathing.

Flexible Online Learning

The theory modules of this programme will be conducted entirely online, giving students access to recordings from the previous batch. This allows for ultimate flexibility in balancing education with professional practice. Students also have the option to join the in-person batch starting in 2026 at no additional cost if they wish to enhance their learning experience.

Clinical and Preclinical Sessions

To graduate, students are required to complete 30 clinical sessions (including 6 preclinical typodont sessions). These sessions are conducted in person and allow students to gain confidence and hands-on experience treating live patients under the guidance of experienced instructors. The clinical sessions are priced at $1,300 each.

Students who pay the full amount for clinical sessions upfront will receive a 15% discount, bringing the total down from $39,000 to $33,150, offering significant savings.

Graduate Diploma Qualification

This is a graduate diploma programme (Eduqual Level 7, equivalent to Level 8 in Australia) affiliated with the City of London Dental School. Upon successful completion of all theory modules, clinical sessions, and case submissions, students will receive a Graduate Diploma (GradDip) from the City of London Dental School.

FAQS

1. What is the EODO Orthodontic Mini Residency?

EODO Orthodontic Mini Residency is a comprehensive three-year program designed for both fresh graduates and experienced specialists. It equips participants with advanced orthodontic skills, offering a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical clinical sessions.

2. Do I need any prior orthodontic knowledge or experience?

No, the course caters to individuals with varied backgrounds. Whether you are a fresh graduate or an experienced dentist, the program is designed to accommodate all levels of expertise.

3. What does the clinical component involve?

Clinical sessions are held at Full Face Orthodontics Practices. Participants observe expert consultations, diagnoses, and treatment planning. Under supervision, they can also perform treatments, provided patients' consent. The first year includes 6 Preclinical sessions focusing on technical aspects before transitioning to clinical sessions.

4. I am a non-practising dentist in Australia. Can I attend clinical sessions?

Yes, you can attend clinical sessions without active Australian registration. However, if you wish to perform treatments under supervision, active practising registration in Australia is necessary.

5. How are the clinical sessions structured over the three years?

Clinical sessions are spread out over the three years. This deliberate spacing allows participants to implement their learning between sessions. Smaller, focused sessions allow in-depth discussions about individual cases, enhancing the overall learning experience.

6. What support is available after graduation?

EODO offers various support options post-graduation, including case reviews and treatment progress comments. Costs for additional support range from $50 to $1000, depending on the level of assistance required.

7. Are there specific orthodontic materials I need to purchase?

While specific brands are not mandated, basic orthodontic materials are necessary. A list of essential materials will be provided at the beginning of the course. These materials are standard and should be readily accessible, even internationally.

8. Would 3 blocks of 10 sessions be ideal over 3 years or 6 blocks of 5 days?

One of the reasons we spread the course over 3 years is that we want our students to learn ideas from clinical sessions and implement those on the patients in their own practice. When you get back to another clinical session, you discuss your patients with our experts and get an idea of how you managed the patient and get feedback. I suggest doing the least number of clinical sessions possible at a time for this reason.
