Dr. Baumgaertel's TAD Certificate Course

The pandemic has changed the way we learn. Over the past year, personal appearances by Dr. Baumgaertel have been non-existent, and while short-form webinars were a popular replacement, they were simply no substitute for the in-depth structured learning experience that full weekend courses provided. So many doctors requested a comprehensive course on orthodontic miniscrews, because they were lacking solid, reliable resources to learn more about TADs. These requests have been heard and we are proud to offer the first TAD Certificate Course, worldwide. 

This course will be taught virtually via the Zoom platform by Dr. Baumgaertel personally. Course language is English. The course is structured into 8 modules and will span 10 hours over two consecutive days at the conclusion of which every participant qualifies for the 'Certificate of TAD Proficiency'. This course is suitable for beginners and experts alike.
