The American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics (AAIP) joined with its affiliates, Atlantic Dental Implant Seminars (ADIS) and the Linkow Implant Institute, to present a five-day comprehensive implant training program in Montego Bay, Jamaica, for 10 dentists from Kazakhstan. The course, held August 4-8, included two days of lectures and three days of clinical patient treatment.

Taught at Cornwall Regional Hospital, the course was the fourth cooperative effort of the Jamaican Ministry of Health and the American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics.

Under the direction of Dr. Mike Shulman, the students placed 37 implants and performed 10 sinus lifts. Prosthodontic treatment of the patients will be performed at subsequent implant courses in Jamaica sponsored by the AAIP and ADIS.

American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics membership certificates were presented to the course participants. Dr. Anara Zhumadilova, director of the Department of Dental Therapy and Oral Surgery at Astana Medical University, Kazakhstan, received her AAIP mastership certificate and medallion.

Dr. Mike Shulman is course coordinator, Dr. Leonard I. Linkowis course director and Dr. Sheldon Winkler is course advisor for AAIP/ADIS-sponsored programs in Montego Bay and Kingston, Jamaica.
