THE ADVANTAGES
Less time away from the office and family. In the process of learning orthodontic skills, a significant amount of time is needed to master all the details. IAT allows you to do the majority of the studying on your own at your own practice or home, meaning less time away from your practice and family. This is a significant savings, and has been shown to be the most efficient way to learn this broad topic. Less travel expenses. Hotel, meals, and airline transportation costs add up when attending seminars, especially for those living in locations away from the seminar location. The IAT program requires only three live seminar trips (10 days total) to one of our regional locations in your choice of California, Dubai, Tel Aviv, Beijing or Hong Kong, greatly reducing the cost of our typical 48-day, 12-session program. Access to education from anywhere in the world. We have students from every corner of the world, and they are able to learn orthodontics via our IAT program. Whether you live in a distant corner of the earth or a major metropolis, orthodontic education is now available to you. Work at your own pace. Some learn at a faster pace than others and some dentists are motivated to learn the skills of orthodontics faster than the live seminar series is presented. You choose the pace of learning in the IAT format. Availability of the course start. Typically our live series only starts in many of our locations every 2 years, leaving a significant time to wait for the next series if you missed the latest offering. Through the IAT program, you can start the learning process at any time, and no longer need to wait for the live series to come to your area. Fit your learning to your budget. IAT allows you to customize your learning to your budget. The overall cost of learning orthodontics from POS will be the same, but learning can be scheduled when you have the money to invest. Unparalleled support for the rest of your career. All POS students have the confidence of lifetime support, through our Lifetime Free Retake program and our lifetime case diagnosis support. POS has been teaching the finest orthodontics for 25 years, and you can rest assured that we will be here to support you for the long term. Same education as the live students. With the IAT program, you will be receiving the same education, with the same fantastic results, as your live counterparts.
Both Formats
Many of our dedicated IAT students take advantage of our lifetime free retake policy to supplement their IAT education with live seminars from the Traditional Comprehensive Ortho Series. We encourage you to do this. In our opinion, the more education you have, the better your skills will be, and thus we give you as many opportunities to learn as possible. You can also view the videos of the live seminars if you do not live near the live locations and you would like to supplement your education.

The Concept
Progressive Orthodontics offers our comprehensive orthodontic series in an innovative new format, Internet Assisted Training (IAT). In this format, the student does the majority of his studying on his own, via the internet on our website, minimizing the amount of live education necessary to learn orthodontics. Our internet portion consists of principles and case histories in text format. To supplement this education, the doctor will need to attend 3 live seminars to learn the hands-on components of our series, as well as other topics that we feel cannot be properly taught via the internet. The live portion of the IAT course will be held in five regional locations: California (USA), Egypt/Jordan, Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), and Chennai (India). Each internet student is assigned an instructor whom they can communicate with at any time they have questions or need clarification on what they are learning. This program has been used by hundreds of successful students worldwide.
