ONLINE LEARNING (prior to arrival)

• Approach:  Self-led
• Location:  Remote
• Timeframe:  51 hours

• Our online learning platform walks each student through the foundational principles & information necessary for moving forward into more in-depth study.
• Information is presented via engaging modules, complete with tests, games, etc.
• Live “study hall” sessions with instructors will be occur at regularly scheduled intervals.
• Modules (including tests) must be completed and passed prior to arrival onsite for the in-person didactic.
• Anticipated time needed:
  6+ weeks (on average)
  • Times may vary, according to each individual’s schedule, learning style, pre-existing knowledge base, etc.
  • Students gain access to online learning modules upon receipt of tuition (in full).

LIVE DIDACTIC

• Approach:  Educator-led
• Location:  CHOICE
  • in-person (Cincinnati, OH)
  • live-stream (remote)
• Timeframe:  24 hours
  • 3.5 days (Fri afternoon, Sat, Sun, Mon)

• After completing the online modules, students arrive (along with fellow members of their cohort) at our facility in Cincinnati, Ohio.
  • Participants who select the “remote didactic” option will attend live-stream.
    
• Cohorts are intentionally kept small in size, allowing for a highly engaged, in-depth, & supportive learning experience.
• Facilitated by seasoned clinicians/educators (including general dentists, oral surgeons, and anesthesiologists), these 3.5 day-long sessions are designed to immerse students in a broad range of clinical concepts.
  • Students will explore case studies, take part in interactive discussions, and participate in hands-on simulations.
    
•  Vesper’s state-of-the-art facility is equipped with cutting-edge technology and amenities, offering students a dedicated, focused environment ideal for deep learning.

IN-CLINIC PATIENT CASES

• Approach:  Clinician-led
• Location:  in-person (Cincinnati, OH)
• Timeframe:  20 patient cases
  • “Contiguous clinical” option: 4 days (Tues, Weds, Thurs, Fri)
  • Flexible scheduling: scheduled per individual students’ availability

• Following completion of the in-person didactic, students move into the in-clinic “patient cases” phase of the program.
• Surrounded by the framework of a dedicated IV-sedation-focused dental office, students continue to learn in a safe, supported environment.
• Highly trained clinicians (& their support staffs) are present to facilitate the patient appointment, providing IV-sedation students a stable, reinforced framework within which to focus.
  • Facilitating clinicians (Certified IV Moderate Conscious Sedation general dentists) are responsible for the delivery of patient dentistry.
  • IV sedation students are allowed to focus on the continued development of their IV-sedation-skills.
• Students perform the IV sedation component in twenty (20) in-clinic patient cases.
• Vesper offers flexible scheduling for this phase of the program.
  • Students can schedule their in-clinic days “all in one go” or “spread out” in a cadence that works for their individual schedules.

ONGOING SUPPORT

• Approach:  Instructor-facilitated
• Location:  Remote
• Timeframe:  Regularly scheduled; by appointment

• Following completion of the full IV sedation training program (online learning; in-person didactic; patient cases), students have access to ongoing support, study resources, and discussions with fellow graduates and faculty.
• Online group meetings are scheduled on a regular basis.
  • Led by our faculty & instructors, meetings can range from clinical “how to” Q&A discussions to “Vesper Institute study club” sessions.
  • These sessions are designed to offer students who have completed the program ongoing access to learning and continued development.
• One-on-one conversations can be scheduled with faculty & instructors.
  • These can be scheduled as needed.
