My learning at VSSAcademy™ has completely met my expectations…The clinical guidance while placing implants was excellent. The Clinics were well organised with quality equipment. VSSAcademy™ also provides ongoing online support after the MSc is finished, which is useful for clinicians like me who started their journey of implants.
Dr Radhika Baireddy
ArrayIf someone is thinking of doing this, go ahead. It’s a relaxed, informal way of learning with a lot of support and people who want you to do well. The mentors are great, very experienced, knowledgeable and down to earth.
Dr Grainne McCloskey
ArrayThe implant study days have been excellent and I’ve come across a great network of lecturers who are very approachable for any support I need through the course.
