Dr. Virgil Mongalo created specialized training that is composed of 4 different that can last 12 to 14 months to complete.

The purpose of this course is to prepare the advanced doctors for the written and oral exams necessary to become ABOI board certified. Please be aware of the following important points:

1. Dr. Mongalo cannot guarantee that you will pass both exams, only to train you in how to prepare for them. There is no guarantee that you will become ABOI board certified.

2. In order to properly train you we have selected specialized faculty that are board certified oral/maxillofacial surgeons, board certified periodontists, board certified prosthodontists, ABOI Diplomates and oral implantologists.

3. The final restorations of your clinical cases will depend on how well the surgery was executed. We understand that you are operating outside your comfort zone, in a different environment that is not your private practice and that there is pressure on you emotionally to perform a great surgery, as such these and other factors might lead to less-than-ideal surgeries which will result in implant failure, loss of cases and/or less than ideal final prosthetics.   

4. After training more than 36 doctors in the past 30 months, we have learned that it is imperative that all registered doctors complete all 4 sessions in order to maximize their learning experience and increase chances of passing the exams.

5. Once you have spoken to Dr. Mongalo regarding the format and course contents, you are making a commitment to complete all 4 sessions. If you decide not to complete the training, you will be responsible for the full course tuition.

SESSION #1
This is a 6-day externship hosted in Latin America.
*pre-surgical documentation consisting of CBCT 3D virtual planning,
*clinical pre-op CBCT scanning and intra-oral scanning,
*Each attending doctor will operate 6 patients and our team will document the surgery. These 6 cases are part of 8 cases required to submit the ABOI oral examination application. The attending doctor must document the remaining 2 cases on their own time at their private practice.
*Lectures on advanced surgical techniques by board certified Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon, board certified Periodontist and accredited Oral Implantologists.

SESSION #2
This is a 3-day training course hosted in Orlando, Florida. This session is a didactic training in preparation for the ABOI written and oral examinations and combines lectures with mock board. There are no patients involved in this session.

SESSION #3
This is a 6-day externship hosted in Latin America.
*Post-op documentation of final restorations consisting of laboratory steps, clinical photographs and X-rays at delivery time.
*Each attending doctor will take impressions, take vertical dimensions, scan abutments intraorally and deliver final prosthesis.
*The attending doctor is responsible for final restoration of their 2 private cases.
*Lectures on fixed and removable implant prosthesis will be conducted by board certified Prosthodontist and accredited Oral Implantologists.

SESSION #4
All 6 cases must be in function at least 1-year after being restored. This session is a 2-day online group meeting where Dr. Mongalo will present each attending doctor the 1-year follow up clinical photographs and X-rays.
The attending doctor must do the same with his/her 2 private cases.
*During this session Dr. Mongalo will assist the group in submitting the ABOI Diplomate application.

Keep in mind that we are dealing with patients that can:

1. Change their mind on the proposed treatment plan at the last minute
2. Sudden changes in medical status that will preclude from undergoing treatment
3. Problems with transportation or other personal issues that will result in no-shows
4. Have underlying health problems not detected during the screening process that can result in hemorrhage, poor bone quality which will change the proposed surgery or become anxious and making the surgery impossible
There are also other unpredictable factors such as:
5. 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:
*Treating patients inhumanly, not following US standard of care. Leaving patients 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.
*Inciting negative group comments without approaching  Dr.Mongalo with your comments or complaints in private.

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. For him to address any problems or concerns he must be notified early during the week. 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.

*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.

*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.
