In addition to the internal placement in the training centre under the direction of an approved placement supervisor-coordinator, the clinical training also includes an external independent professional practice placement of at least 500 hours in an approved location and under the direction of an approved placement supervisor. During the placements, candidates devote themselves entirely to practising a specialization, according to a plan approved by the ministerial committee. During training, candidates may not undertake any clinical activity outside their placement work.

Candidates must become involved in research work in an area of the specialization. Before the end of the training, they must present a paper to a scientific meeting as well as a dissertation or an article for publication in a leading international journal.

General medicine and biology

General orthodontics

Specialized orthodontics

Orthodontic techniques

Multidisciplinary treatments

Special procedures

Seminars

Evaluation
There is an assessment of candidates’ theoretical and practical knowledge at the end of each year which enables the programme committee to validate the academic year. At the end of the course, assessment is based on a test of candidates’ theoretical and practical knowledge, on the report of the placement supervisors, on the presentation of twenty cases which have been treated and fully documents, on the presentation of a case at a public session as well as the defence of an original dissertation or article for publication in a leading international journal.

When the above requirements have been fulfilled, the programme committee will award the academic qualification of Advanced Master in Orthodontics.

This is not a substitute for recognition by the ministerial committee. It is evidence of academic and scientific training in the context of specialized training leading to the award of professional status.

To have their training period validated by the ministerial committee for orthodontics, candidates must submit their training record book, duly completed, at the end of each year of training.
