International Master's degree in Oral Surgery

International Master's degree in Oral Surgery (IMOS)

IMOS is a full-time program in oral surgery and implantology. It consists of 3 academic years with theoretical and practical training. During this program, students will acquire advanced knowledge of oral and maxillofacial surgery, which will allow them to treat complex cases safely. The most important block of training will be devoted to implant dentistry, with an emphasis on the diagnosis and treatment planning of advanced and complex cases. Residents will also acquire extensive knowledge of oral rehabilitation and prosthodontics, working with patients from diagnosis and surgery to delivery of the provisional and definitive prosthesis. A fully digital workflow will be encouraged at all stages. Diagnosis and planning is carried out in modern facilities that have state-of-the-art intraoral scanners and three CBCTs to perform the best possible treatments.

A multidisciplinary approach will always be sought, which will favor interaction with other departments such as restorative, endodontics, periodontology and orthodontics. Students will also acquire knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, sedation and conscious sedation with specific training and will work in a hospital environment with patients under sedation or general anesthesia. Active participation in courses and congresses will also be an important task for IMOS residents.

Finally, another important aspect of this program is the training in pre-clinical and clinical research, through the many research projects that are generated year after year and that many times end up being published in high-impact journals.

The programme of the International Master’s Degree in Oral Surgery is divided in three parts: theoretical, practical and research.

The theoretical programme is organised into cross-disciplinary subjects; oral and maxillofacial medical and surgical seminars, literature review sessions, clinical sessions, periodontal surgical seminars and invited lectures and sessions. For more details, please contact university's website.

Practical Programme:

Our learning model is based on ensuring our students can achieve a high academic level. Therefore, clinical practice with patients is essential to gain a high level of expertise. What makes our Postgraduate courses stand out is the Clinical Practice with Patients. Surgical Clinical Practice in the CUO (University Dental Clinic) Prosthodontic Clinical Practice in the CUO (University Dental Clinic) our prosthodontics laboratory, hospital practice, and placements in other Universities are other advantages we offer.

Stays in other universities

During the second and third year of the programme, those students considered to be the best, based on strict criteria, will be offered a placement in the Oral Surgery Department of a national or international University.

Courses and conferences

Students must attend and present in at least three congresses over the 3-year master’s programme: SECIB, SECOM, SEPA, SEPES.

During the Master’s programme, students must also present an oral communication at one of the following international conferences: EAO, Europerio, Osteology, EFOSS or SECOM.

180 ECTS International Master’s Degree in Oral Surgery.

Upon completion of the programme, students should be able to deal with highly complicated cases both in terms of surgery and implantology. With this objective in mind, students will receive a high-quality education both at a theoretical and practical level, as well as in the area of research. In the field of implantology, not only will the students look at surgery, they will also receive training in the areas of case planning, guided prosthodontic surgery and rehabilitation.
