Continuing Education

Prosthodontics for General Practitioners at Hilton Head

The annual Prosthodontics for General Practitioners continuing education course is held the last week of July each year.  Colleagues and friends have been meeting on Hilton Head Island, SC with the UNC Department of Prosthodontics faculty and staff for more than 20 years.  This 6-day course is held from 8am to 12 noon each day so that you can spend the afternoons and evenings teeing up for the best round of golf you've ever played, or strolling down the beach.

Hilton Head Island provides a safe, natural setting for a family vacation. You'll find plenty of activities and events for all ages. Enjoy leisurely family fun outdoors playing miniature golf or swimming in the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Listen to an outdoor concert and cap your evening with a brilliant summertime fireworks display. 

The Westin Oceanfront Resort is an excellent place to see a bottle nose dolphin.  In the summer, dolphins are prevalent along the shoreline, where they feed on small fish and sea creatures.  The loggerhead turtle, an endangered species, nests extensively along Hilton Head Island’s 12 miles of wide, sandy beaches. 
Whatever your family chooses, Hilton Head Island's opportunities for family fun are endless!

Course participants tell us that they look forward to this meeting every year for the excellent continuing education and the opportunity to learn through hands-on, face-to-face interaction with the exhibitors. In fact, when surveyed, over 74% of the participants said that interaction with the exhibitors was an integral part of their continuing education experience.
