Session synopsis: 
Join the team from ITI and explore how participation in the ITI campus prgramme can advance learning and collaboration.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of implant-supported oral rehabilitation, access to structured and evidence-based education is more essential than ever. At the same time, the digital literacy of the current generation asks for high-reaching learning modalities that are fast, attractive, self-paced and seamless. The ITI (International Team for Implantology) Academy is such an online education platform in the field of implant dentistry and oral tissue regeneration. It is part of ITI.org, a globally recognized academic organization dedicated to promoting evidence-based practices in implantology. Embedded within the ITI Academy, an ITI University Digital Campus can be set-up and designed according to the institution wishes and needs, to bridge clinical expertise and academic excellence, fostering a community of learners and educators.

This session aims to introduce an ITI University Digital Campus program and highlight the unique learning opportunities it offers for students, educators, and institutions. Participants will explore how the program supports curriculum development at under- and postgraduate level, enhances student engagement, builds networks for future exchange and fosters learning clinical and research excellence, through offering high-end evidence-based and peer-reviewed learning modules.
