“I attended Jimmy’s CBCT course in Manchester a few years ago. I must admit I was not looking forward to two days of radiology!! Jimmy made the course very enjoyable to the point I would say it was one of the best courses in radiology that I have attended in my 38 years of clinical practice! Jimmy is the guru of dental radiology and I would recommend his courses to all colleagues without hesitation”
Dr Arshad Ali, Clinical Director of Scottish Centre for Excellence in Dentistry
"Jimmy has made Certificate of Dental Radiography course easy to understand, manageable and I was able to take it at my own pace. It gave me confidence and a good understanding of X-rays enabling me to take them efficiently and safely. Jimmy and Inga were always available for any help and advice that I needed. I would recommend this course of Dental Radiography. Thanks for getting me through it."
"Thanks for your support throughout the Certificate of Dental Radiography course!"
I offer my extended appreciation and gratitude to Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology Academy, a dental radiography course for dental nurses for enabling me to achieve the relevant knowledge and skills to be able to take radiographs. I enrolled in the course not quite knowing what to expect. Although it is an online course I was regularly updated with the different aspects of the modules and how best to complete my record of experience. At the beginning of the course, we had the pleasure of meeting Dr Makdissi who gave us all very good tips on how to make the most use of our online course and how to be consistent with 30 minutes of learning every night. The content of the course is well-structured and easy to understand. I was most impressed with Inga who kindly offered her support throughout the course and answered all our questions. I felt very supported. The course is brilliant, and I have no hesitation in recommending Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology Academy to whoever wishes to pursue priceless knowledge and a certificate in dental radiography."
"Good course. Well worth it and loved the way Jimmy presented."
"The course was very practical and engaging. Excellent attention to detail and interest of Jimmy and the rest of his team to make sure the participants had everything on hand and ready for the course"
"I found the e-learning and online session incredibly interesting and useful. Dr Makdissi is an engaging and obviously thoroughly well informed speaker. The day was punctuated by anatomy tips and real-life cases that made you put all of the learning into perspective and think through how you would report on scans for your own patients. Dr Makdissi was easy to approach for advice and I feel reassured that if I have any questions I can go back to him for help in the future. I would definitely encourage any of my colleagues who utilise CBCT in their work to take this course. Thanks for a great day!"
"Thank you very much for the CBCT course. A really enjoyable, informative day. I enjoyed how the day was so interactive and relevant to all specialties."
"Was great to physically have the cases and go through and try the software and practice it"
"Thank you, it has been an excellent course, I've learnt so very much."
"A very well organised and delivered programme with excellent use of scans for real-time manipulation that really helped the learning process. Would strongly recommend. Many thanks."
"Thank you for all your help with the logistics and organisation. The course was fantastic and I'm very grateful to Dr Makdissi. I've learned so much today."
"Thank you for the day! It was really insightful and useful. I have learnt lots which I know will help me with my future practice. I now feel substantially more confident with reading and diagnosing CBCT’s. Jimmy was willing to answer any questions and was very helpful. I would highly recommend the course."
"The course was great, many thanks to both Dr Makdissi and Inga. It was a really useful way to become familiar with CBCTs and have the confidence to start reporting!"
"I wanted to thank you for teaching us the CBCT course. It was extremely beneficial and enjoyable! The Covid times asked us all to change the way that we work, and many courses are now delivered online. Some are better than others, but there are more than a few that send you off to sleep. I can definitely say your course did the complete opposite - I was glued to the screen the whole way through and time absolutely flew by (if anything I would have wanted to keep going but it was already time for dinner!). Thank you for making the session so interactive, for never judging the wrong answers but instead pointing out where the anatomical structure would have been if that was the correct answer - I found that extremely useful. It was also great having the laptops with the pre-installed cases and software, this made the session very interactive, and I now feel much more confident to read CBCT scans. And a big thank-you to Inga for organising everything, brilliant planning skills! I honestly wouldn't change a thing, this was well organised and very well run. I will most definitely recommend your course to my colleagues and hope to stay in touch."
"Thank you and the entire team for a wonderful course and all your help."
"i have just completed 2 modules for CBCT training with Jimmy Makdissi and I must say I'm thoroughly impressed. He's managed to take a dry subject of radiology and make it engaging and clinically relevant, especially in the realm of implants. I'm very happy to have had this training and I now feel confident to take, assess and report on CBCTs."
"As a beginner in implant dentistry, it has become very apparent how CBCT has changed treatment planning, allowing for implant surgeons to have more predictability and risk minimisation than ever before. I was very impressed with how comprehensively laid out the training sessions were, and Jimmy made sure the key areas were highlighted and continuously linked this back to clinical relevance in our field of practice. Thanks again JM Radiology for a very useful course, covering key topics in a concise way."
"Thanks for a fantastic course. It was very very helpful and exceeded what I envisioned we would be covering!"
"Thank you for the course today Jimmy, it was very informative. Hope to work with you in the future".
“Having been recommended the course by my new employer, I was extremely impressed with the course before it began. The online learning modules, which had to be completed beforehand, were both informative and engaging. As a new specialist, it was great to see the evidence based approach to this topic and Jimmy gave us some interesting reading to supplement the online course. The masterclass itself was interactive, informative and will change my clinical practice going forward. The support from his staff was appreciated in terms of logistics and reading the scans. This is a professional and high quality learning process.”
"Superb course, Jimmy has a wealth of experience, knowledge and is a fantastic educator. This course is for those who wish to feel confident in referring, justifying and reporting on CBCT radiography. Will be returning for the refresher for sure."
"This course is excellent for all levels of experience, The on line modules are so clear ,concise and interactive , they actually make radiology fun to learn. The Face to face webinar with Jimmy was brilliant. I learnt a lot and felt the material was very well presented and Jimmy just makes it seem so simple ! Thank you Inga for the immaculate organisation."
"I would like to thank Jimmy and Inga for the online CBCT masterclass I attended last weekend.
The course exceeded my expectations in many regards - especially the interactive online day with Jimmy. I gained a lot of confidence reading and interpreting CBCT after going through so many scans with Jimmy.
Once again, thank you."
"I would highly recommend this CBCT masterclass. The content covered online and virtually was both comprehensive and interesting. The sections covering anatomy and pathology were excellent and there there was plenty of opportunity to ask questions throughout. Many scans were assessed during the day and some new tips and techniques I have learned will be invaluable when assessing and reporting on scans. Thank you."
"Thank you for the very informative CBCT course run on 13/6/20. I think the online presentation was excellent and worked very well.
Your assistant Inga was very supportive and ensured eventing was put in place before the start of the course. The supply of 2 laptops is a very good idea, the back-up helps to prevent the disruption if there is a computer glitch.
I think I already feel competent in referring and reporting CBCTs.
I will be sharing my experiences in my journey, utilising CBCT images, and thank you for agreeing to be available for ongoing help and support. I will also highly recommend the course to others who want to start using CBCT in their clinical practice."
"Thanks for running the virtual CBCT masterclass last Saturday. It was very informative and a useful update for clinical practice."
“Dear Jimmy and Inga, thank you very much for a fantastic and useful educational day.”
“Thanks Jimmy for the excellent online course and the supporting material. It was really helpful, brilliantly interactive and seamlessly organised. I would highly recommend this course to others.”
“Many thanks for the course - I thought it was beautifully organised and presented. It was much more enjoyable than previous courses I have attended on CBCT. Using video was in my view better than attending in person.”
“One of the best courses I have been to. Well organised and the material was well presented. I learned a lot in an engaged and friendly virtual environment and Jimmy is a fantastic wealth of knowledge."
“Essential course for an age where CBCT is ever-present.”
“This was an excellent course with a perfect mix of online interactive learning and face-to-face video link with Jimmy. The online modules are set up providing a very clear and very interesting flow that covered every aspect required. The flexibility of being able to do this in your own space was perfect for me and I would happily do this course again in this format. Thank you Jimmy and Inga for a fantastic course!”
“I would highly recommend Jimmy and JM radiology CBCT course. Despite lockdown, this was seamlessly arranged with a mixed teaching arrangement, both online and live. The content was massive, comprehensive and presented in an easy to digest manner. Jimmy must have run through at least 30 CBCT scans with the group, all loaded onto laptops which were sent out. Jimmy is encyclopaedic in his knowledge, but approachable, honest, open and has a fantastic presentation style. I was on the 60th group to do the course and it’s clear to see why it is so popular! Thanks again Jimmy.”
“In my opinion, the Virtual CBCT Masterclass has worked really well. A great amount of CBCT scans were practiced during the day and the course was organised really well in a productive manner. It is amazing how high-quality education can still continue remotely, despite all the restrictions caused by Covid-19 outbreak.”
“Thank you Jimmy for an excellent and a truly informative course and for making it a very comfortable experience from our own homes. A virtual masterclass, that’s exactly what it was. Going through CBCT scans and noting pathology and anatomy was invaluable. I would recommend this course to anyone.”
“Thank you Jimmy for your expert tuition, your patient and thoughtful approach, your relaxed style and your comforting reassurance. Your reputation is well deserved!”
“I enjoyed the course immensely as it updated me on several aspects of dental and maxillofacial radiology, most importantly clinical anatomy. As an oral surgeon I deal with difficult cases daily and understanding the exact position of anatomical structures are very important. The virtual meeting was great, no interruptions and all ran extremely smoothly. I would recommend it to everybody to take part. Thanks Jimmy.”
“Very much a "Virtual Masterclass". Practical, educative, informative and totally enjoyable!”
“Going through so many scans with Jimmy was a fantastic - his techniques, tips and tricks were invaluable and my confidence reading and interpreting CBCT scans has definitely improved. Would recommend to anyone.”
“I enjoyed the course immensely. I was concerned about the fact that we were going virtual and was not sure how things would work out but it did indeed! The equipment worked well and I feel I learnt loads during the course. Mr Makdissi was excellent in his presentation and I just think the level of organisation and the way the course was presented was great. I did not know much about CBCT scans but now I can say I have gained enough to effectively refer and read a CBCT scan. I most certainly will recommend this course to my colleagues.”
“Thank you for the course, it was very good and I’ve learnt a lot”.
“Thanks very much for the course yesterday, I really enjoyed it. I think the online format was a great way to teach your course.”
“I would like to thank you for organising and running a fantastic CBCT virtual masterclass. It certainly exceeded my expectations. The course ran very smoothly giving the delegates opportunity ask questions and to view and report on scans. Thank you also for sending me two laptops so I could run the course from home during the Covid-19 lockdown.”
“The course exceeded my expectations in many regards - especially the interactive online day with Jimmy. Initially, I was sceptical about the online method of learning, but as the day went on, I thoroughly enjoyed it.“
