INTERVIEW with — Dr. Ibrahim al-Salti general dentist, Sydney, Australia Fig. 1 Dr. Ibrahim al-Salti treating a young refugee in Thessaloniki. “We have the skills to help alleviate the su(cid:3)ering of fellow humans” Q: Dr. al-Salti, you recently attended Tri- bune CME’s Clinical Masters™ Program in Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry in Ath- ens, Greece. What attracted you to this training session? A: The short answer would be the caliber of the presenters. I have heard Dr. Stavros Pelekanos speak before and he is a very engaging and knowledgeable clinician. His ability to explain evidence-based concepts greatly appeals to me. Furthermore, Dr. Ed McLaren is a world authority on ce- ramics. I have heard many good reviews from fellow colleagues about his courses and decided to come and learn from him. Q: What was your experience of the course? A: The lecturers were great, very informa- tive and engaging. The social events with fellow colleagues from around the world, along with the course presenters, were memorable. Not only did we learn some great things, but we also made some new friends along the way. Q: You combined this further education with volunteer work at a refugee camp in the Greek city of Thessaloniki. What motivated this admirable and inspirational commit- ment through the Health-Point Foundation? 70 — issue 2018 Meet the Clinical Masters Interview
