FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 16, 2002, San Francisco, CA. --- P.A.C.~live announces
its new Functional Anterior course in Vancouver, British Columbia,
scheduled for March 28-30 and April 25-27. This live-patient,
hands-on program features some of the finest clinical faculty
members in Aesthetic dentistry. Held in conjunction with the
University of British Columbia at Vancouver, the program will
feature all of the same courses and faculty currently offered
at its program in San Francisco.
Nine P.A.C.~live courses are scheduled in 2003, with the first
of many expansion courses scheduled for Vancouver, BC. The Functional
Anterior course is the first step in the program's continuum
which begins with advanced restorative anterior work and ends
following a full mouth rehabilitation course. The Functional
Anterior course is a 6-day program covered over 2 weekends,
where clinicians conduct hands-on treatment, under the guidance
of a clinical instructor, of 8-10 anterior units. Throughout
the course, attendees will learn Smile Design, advanced Adhesion
techniques, photography, prep techniques, custom provisionalization,
and contouring. Using a 2-1 clinician to faculty ratio, P.A.C.~live
offers personalized instruction and unparalleled attention.
"We're really excited about going to Vancouver", says
Dr. Ed Lowe, the Clinical Director at P.A.C.~live. "The
only problem we have now is that our entire faculty wants to
teach at this program." Dr. Lowe is a graduate of the University
of British Columbia at Vancouver, a member of the American Academy
of Cosmetic Dentistry, and a renowned author and lecturer. One
of the original faculty members at P.A.C.~live, Dr. Lowe was
previously Director of the Posterior program at P.A.C.~live
before taking on the Clinical Director position in June of 2002.
"Vancouver is such a great venue for this program. It's
a beautiful city with an amazing landscape, incredible skiing,
wonderful shopping and some of the best restaurants in North
America. The current exchange rate makes the program very attractive
for American dentists, but the program's Canadian discounts
also allow easy access to this type of program for my Canadian
colleagues," says Lowe.
Donna Dainius, Director of Continuing Education at UBC says
"We're very pleased to have them hold a program at our
facility, and we are extremely proud that one of our alumni
is now leading P.A.C.~live."
The program will continue to hold courses in San Francisco and
soon will be announcing an East Coast expansion. The 2003 dates
