I'd wanted to take Dr. Tamimi’s CBCT course for a long time, but hadn’t been able to due to scheduling conflicts. So when I saw that there was an option for a one-on-one, virtual course with her, I jumped at the opportunity. I knew that it would be a worthwhile experience given her excellent reputation, but it was so much more than that. Not only did she explain the material masterfully, she challenged some of my existing concepts and answered all of my questions, which was perfect. What a treat!
