An advanced, small-group masterclass focused on case-based learning and direct faculty interaction.

Included for all active surgeON subscribers. Remaining seats are available via paid registration.

COURSE OVERVIEW

THINK LIKE AN EXPERT - DECIDE WITH CONFIDENCE.

This advanced masterclass applies clinical reasoning as the core method to analyze and solve complex cases in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Using real-world scenarios in orthognathic surgery, OSA, trauma, and reconstruction, participants will follow how expert surgeons structure their thinking, evaluate options, and make high-stakes decisions.

Through guided discussion of expert cases and selected participant cases, you will learn to apply clinical reasoning frameworks to:

• Systematically analyze complex presentations

• Identify key decision points and priorities

• Compare surgical strategies and their trade-offs

• Manage uncertainty and avoid diagnostic or planning errors

• Adapt decisions as clinical situations evolve

A central component of this session is the opportunity to bring your own case, allowing direct application of clinical reasoning with expert and peer input.

The focus is not only on what to do, but how to think through complex OMFS problems in a structured, reproducible way.
