DISCLAIMER FOR ALL LIVE PATIENT COURSES TAUGHT AT LIT

After directing 300 live courses, Dr. Mongalo and his team have decided to create a system that will allow the evaluation of each attending doctor clinical performance. This will be evaluated on the first day of the course using Dr. Mongalo’s 10-point surgical competency system.

The number of implants to be placed by level 1-2 ranges on 17 to 21.

The number of AOX full arch immediate loading is 4 arches for level 3 participants.

The number of lateral windows ranges from 4-6 for level 5 registrants.

All of the above # implants, # of AOX to be loaded and # lateral windows to be executed depends on INDIVIDUAL DOCTOR CLINICAL PERFORMANCE, since it is not realistic to expect all doctors to possess the same clinical abilities.

Live Implant Training™ prioritizes patient safety, ethical treatment, and proper clinical supervision over implant quantity and doctor’s desires to achieve number of procedures. Ethical treatment must guide the course: implant placement should only occur when it benefits the patient and meets proper clinical indications, not to satisfy a specific number of implants.

Case difficulty is not always predictable: some patients may require extractions, grafting, sinus lifts, flap management, or modified treatment plans that reduce the number of implants placed.

Remember that we are working with patients where there are factors out of Dr. Mongalo’s control such as weather, transportation, sudden illness and other factors that can force changes in surgical schedules.

Clinical performance protects the doctor, patient, and institution by ensuring responsible training, proper supervision, and adherence to LIT clinical safety protocols.

There are also other unpredictable factors such as: Acts of God. These are defined as “an event that directly and exclusively results from the occurrence of natural causes that could not have been prevented by the exercise of foresight or caution; an inevitable accident. Courts have recognized various events as acts of God -tornadoes, earthquakes, death, COVID-19, extraordinarily high tides, violent winds, and floods.

Many insurance policies for property damage exclude from their protection damage caused by acts of God”. Such nature occurrences can affect the number of patients available for treatment during that training.

Dr. Mongalo will not tolerate unprofessional behavior, this includes the following:

1. Not following instructions dictated by the supervising faculty. Arguing with your faculty or Dr. Mongalo in front of patients is not acceptable. Any clinical difference of opinions must be presented in writing and addressed in private to Dr. Mongalo.

2. Treating patients inhumanly, not following US standard of care. Leaving patient unattended while operating is not acceptable. While there is a surgery being performed, no person in the team (faculty, resident, attending doctors, assisting doctor) will be allowed to leave the room.

3. Performing procedures that the attending Doctor wants but that the patients do not need. If you need to learn a particular surgical technique, advise Dr Mongalo so he can seek the appropriate patient for you keeping in mind that all patients must match the operating doctor surgical level.

4. Stealing patients assigned to others, not following group rules such as abandoning your partner. If your partner assists you for 3 hours, you owe him/her the same courtesy. Assisting is a great educational tool and will learn as much as operating.

5. Inciting negative group comments without approaching Dr.Mongalo the Course Director. The faculty, surgical residents and other attending doctors cannot and will not solve any problems or concerns that attending doctors might have related to room assignment, patient selection, case distribution, expectations, facilities, etc… the only person that can and will solve these issues is Dr. Virgil Mongalo. In order for him to address any problems or concerns he must be notified early during the week. Any and all complaints must be presented to Dr. Mongalo no later than the 2nd day of the course, which is Monday at the end of the surgical day. If complaints are presented on Thursday-Friday it will be too late to correct them since the course is close to completion.

6. Attend course after a night of alcohol beverages or narcotics consumption that will interfere with your abilities and/or exhibiting unprofessional behavior in ways you would not behave in your office.

7. The course is taught in English. The faculty and residents will speak English during the course. The attending doctors are required to speak English as well even if you are working with someone that speaks your native language, this is considered disrespectful to the rest of doctors, faculty and residents.
