FORAMEN DENTAL EDUCATION — Porto, Portugal Foramen Dental Education is a modern dental training center that was founded in 2013 specifically with the aim of providing quality dental training in procedures performed on patients. Addressing the market gap in postgraduate training in clinical practice on patients, Foramen was soon established as an important European center for this type of education. The center offers training through clinical residen- cies, which are long-term courses providing oppor- tunities for constant practice and follow- up in a real clinical context. Alongside this, Foramen has short-term training avail- able, with hands-on courses dealing with specific subjects during which it is possible for complete immersion in the subject for a short period. www.foramendental- education.com — Dr. Hugo Sousa Dias graduated with a DDS from University Fernando Pessoa, Porto, and completed the postgraduate program in endodontics at the Uni- versity of Lisbon, Portugal. Besides running a practice limited to endodontics in Porto, he is Director of the Master in Endodontics clinical residency program at Foramen Dental Education. Dr. Dias is the founder of the Portuguese Group for Endodontic Study (study club). He is a member of the European Society of Endodontology and the Sociedade Portuguesa de Endodon- tologia [Portuguese endodontic society]. He has given more than 20 lectures around the world. Location Foramen Dental Education is located right in the heart of the very trendy city of Porto. Porto is the second-largest city in Portugal and one of the major urban areas of the Iberian Peninsula. Located along the Douro River estuary in northern Por- tugal, Porto is one of the oldest European centers, and its historical core was pro- claimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. One of Portugal’s internationally famous exports, port wine, is named after Porto, since the metropolitan area, and in particular the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, were responsible for the packaging, trans- port and export of the fortified wine. In 2014 and 2017, Porto was named the Best European Destination by the Best Euro- pean Destinations agency. Being popular, it offers an overwhelming choice of cul- tural, gastronomic and accommodation options. www.lonelyplanet.com/portugal/the- north/porto/ How to get there It is possible to fly to Porto or Lisbon (cap- ital) from virtually all of Europe.
