AFTER SPENDING 2 WEEKS OF SUMMERSCHOOL PLEASE DESCRIBE FROM YOUR POINT OF VIEW WHAT THIS SUMMERSCHOOL IS, IF YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT.

“In my opinion summerschool is a superior perio-experience, a very intensive course focused on all the important aspects of Periodontology, both theoretically and practically. It is a great social event as well.”
“A great opportunity to learn about today’s standard of care in Perio. The latest advances in Perio. A place to meet colleagues from different countries and gain new friends.“
“The knowledge a clinician has had before is increased a lot by discussing it in detail and from a scientific point of view, very specifically. Recent publications on the matter are discussed also, so you are in contact with new findings. It is an intensive training, top quality.”
“To me, summerschool is more than only perio-knowledge! We could learn how to discuss perio-treatment, diagnosis, prognosis... but we also learn a lot about human relationships, cultures and languages! This is a unique experience that I’m sure I’ll remember not only in my clinic/university but also in my private life.”
“Because I am a beginner in Periodontology this summerschool reveals to me what Perio is. I can see more clear the periodontal diseases; I learned how to make the diagnostic, the treatment and how to predict the outcomes. For me it was the first time when I have done the modified Whitman-flap, the tunnel preparation and the implant surgery, also the osteotomy.”
“It is like going back to college. Two more weeks of university atmosphere during classes and going out with friends. It is a place where you can learn about Periodontology as a general practitioner as well as a specialist with the best lecturers and work with top materials, instruments and apparatus. You learn to do your own research work and discuss with other doctors different patient situations.”
“International exchange of clinical experience and cultural interaction. Getting confidence in periodontal treatment in general.”
“This summerschool is to make new friends coming from all over the world and to discuss the treatment plan with them and to realize what is the different from them.”
“It is a nice experience and I collected a lot of new information.”
“For me I think it was a very good place to learn and make some interactions with other colleagues.”
“It is a course which could approach for all aspects of Periodontology, with theoretical and practical lectures. It let us how to be more critical on our decisions based on scientific evidence. And also, it is a very good international exchanging not just to Periodontology but also different culture.”

MY EXPECTATION FOR THE SUMMERSCHOOL 2012 WAS...

“To learn new practical things, widen my knowledge on Periodontology and experience how perio is performed in Germany.”
“To learn about the latest advances in Perio, to get knowledge and inspiration for my further work with Perio.”
“A lot of hard work, which would be good, but I was worried if I would be competent enough among other participant.“
“To be able to do the surgeries after.”
“High! And absolutely overcome my expectations.”
“The summerschool 2012 was enough for my expectation.”
“To learn more about Periodontology.”
“Clarify the staged initial therapy, basic Perio-surgery hands on, SPT.”
“To test myself if my perio knowledge was good enough. To get the general view of Periodontology, to meet people from different countries.“
“Nervousing me.”
“More hands-on courses and more time to learn :)”
“Exactly as I expected.”
“It would be a great opportunity to improve my knowledge of Periodontology, and to visit another country, with other foreign people.“
