ADEE Tech Talks and ADEE Tech Expo 2020

Innovative Dental Education Post Lockdown
Session synopsis: 
ADEE Tech Talks and the ADEE Tech Expo are moving online.
With a tagline of 'Innovative Dental Education Post Lockdown'

The role played by new technologies and online platforms during the COVID-19 lock down has taught us valuable lessons and this is our focus for this session. The session is member hosted and its content member driven, bringing together academic and corporate partners to share their experiences of using technologies to continue to delivery dental education in times of lockdown and pandemic social distancing. The overall aim is to blend academic and corporate experiences of the use and benefit of technologies in delivering dental education along with an opportunity for our corporate partners to receive feedback from their service users based on extensive use during the pandemic. 

Our session chairs Carlos Serrano and Marjoke Vervoorn from ACTA (Academisch Centrum Tandheelkunde Amsterdam), The Netherlands facilitated live discussions based on the selected abstract submissions. The session was recorded for on demand viewing which you can now do below.
