The IAS Academy offers a unique guided pathway of lifetime learning for GDPs, with a point of entry for every level of orthodontic experience. Here, Dr Tif Qureshi and Professor Ross Hobson discuss how the Academy came to fruition, the philosophy behind it and how it offers a solution to the bewildering array of options out there.

“We felt that it was time for something cohesive,” says Dr Qureshi.  “The Inman Aligner course run by myself, James Russell and Tim Bradstock Smith had been running for several years and we were constantly improving it.
