Founder of the Institute for Postgraduate Dentistry commemorated
8th Apr 2010
Professor Shahram Tabibi
At a commemorative day held at the University of Central Lancashire in March, a plaque was unveiled in honour of Professor Shahram Tabibi who founded the Institute for Postgraduate Dental Education at UCLan.
The pro-vice chancellor and colleagues from UCLan attended the event in recognition of the achievements of an innovative and forward-thinking peer.
Pro-vice chancellor Eileen Martin said: ‘When Professor Tabibi joined the university in 2003, there was no dental activity at UCLan at all. He has made an outstanding contribution to the development of dentistry at the university.'
Registered specialist in oral surgery, Professor Shahram Tabibi has worked closely with Professor Martin since 2003.
He introduced the very first clinical dental course to UCLan and worked as senior lecturer and internal examiner for this course.
In 2006, he was appointed head of department to establish an Institute for Postgraduate Dental Education, providing excellence through skill to dentists wishing to embark on further training.
Core disciplines included MSc programmes in Implantology, Restorative Cosmetic Dentistry, Periodontology, Oral Surgery and Endodontics, and a Certificate of Higher Education in Orthodontic Therapy.
Professor Tabibi was instrumental in developing initial relationships between UCLan and the GDC and the Faculties of General Dental Practitioners.
