Testimonials

I joined the Dentist-Patient Interaction and Communication Skills workshop in hope to aid preparation for my Part 2 MFDS exam. The lecturers especially Dr Shekhar gave clear and precise tips and tricks on how to tackle each situation which was not just useful for the exam but also very relevant in our daily practice.

One thing I liked was the mock exam that was provided, which gave me a big boost in my confidence, and also gave me an idea of how the real exam will be. Also, they provided us with individual feedbacks of our mock exam which help us to analyse and to improve ourselves.

I found the experience very cultivating, and it felt great to know that I am well prepared for the exam. I would definitely recommend the Dentist-Patient Interaction and Communication Skills Workshop to all the candidates preparing for MFDS Part 2 exam.

I enrolled into the Dentist Patient Interaction and Communication Skills Workshop as I had heard many good reviews from my colleagues. My intention was for this course to prepare me for the examination.

However, I found that the course does more than just prepare me for the exam. It provides very practical tips from experienced experts in communicating to my patients in a variety of day to day situations and also challenging situations.

It has definitely enhanced the way I listen, understand and communicate to my patients with clarity and empathy. That alone I feel is worth the course fees and time, passing the exam is the cherry on the cake of course!

Kudos to the organising committee.

Prior to attending the DENTIST-PATIENT INTERACTION AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS WORKSHOP, I felt like I was struggling at the deep end of a bottomless pool of information regarding the Part 2 MFDS examination.

Thanks to Dr Shekhar and his team at IMU, the information was swiftly put into perspective and the participants of the workshop felt like we were headed on the right path.

The lectures were extremely insightful and the mock examination helped tremendously with my confidence to face the simulated patients on the actual examination day.

I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who is attempting the MFDS Part 2 examination, mainly for the insights pertaining to the format of the examination and also the mock examination which would boost your confidence prior to the actual examination.
