Oral Pathology Lecture Series
Self-Instructional Webinars
This learning series is a product of the Texas Oral Health Coalition’s fall 2021 monthly webinar series with Dr. Paras Patel, DDS.
Each self-instructional session below is worth a minimum of 1.0 hours of dental continuing education credit. These sessions are meant to view as a series but can be viewed separately as they are offered as standalone courses. As part of the evaluation process, self-instructional courses contain post-training questions so learners may assess their mastery of the material.
Are you a dental student studying for Nationals or a pathology final? These are great courses to use as a study tool.
Complete the evaluations for an attendance certificate to test your knowledge.
Attendee comments on Dr. Patel’s Live Courses:
Dr. Paras Patel was an incredible presenter. I appreciate his passion and reminding dental providers of the importance of asking questions and treating the whole person. Looking forward to future presentations.
Dr. Patel’s presentation was really thorough! I enjoyed his style, and his use of visuals was very good.
Great presentation and needed reminders to continually be diligent at keeping a close eye on our patients and oral health changes in tissues!
