Inaugural scholarship awarded

The students will be presented with the scholarship on April 28, 2016.

Denplan, Oral-B and GC Europe have generously provided combined industry funding to a maximum of £9,000 per cohort of PG AMID students. The Patricia Santos Memorial Scholarship was named in memory of the late Patricia Santos, an excellent dentist who enrolled onto the first cohort of the AMID masters programme and epitomised all that is good about the profession. The scholarship is competitively awarded to those students who have excelled in both the clinical and academic components of the programme, and is judged on the basis of cumulative results by the end of their second year.

The innovative and pioneering AMID programme delivers the latest evidence based knowledge in minimum intervention (MI) care and minimally invasive, tooth tissue preserving operative dentistry.

It’s anticipated that graduates of the AMID masters programme at King’s College London will develop an ethical as well as profitable network of MI centred oral healthcare clinics offering higher skill levels and greater expertise in prevention based patient care. A network of trained practitioners in the UK and abroad will encourage critically important practice based research for the future, building on the ever increasing evidence base for MI. This support of dental industry leaders/partners is therefore warmly welcomed.
