The French Graduate School of Clinical Orthodontics (FGSOCO) is the newest addition to Healthcademia^® world-leading higher educational network. Founded ten years ago by Dr Medina and Dr Amsellem, FGSOCO was the first academy to provide professional orthodontic post-graduate training in France. For the past decade, it has provided students with a unique 2-year curriculum combining in-depth theoretical concepts with robust clinical practice. In this sense, FGSOCO’s approach is well-aligned with those of Healthcademia^®: their course leaders don’t only teach but continue to apply their skills in the field as dedicated healthcare professionals.

The acquisition of FGSOCO marks a new and exciting milestone for Healthcademia^® in France. As a company, we now have access to the rapidly growing dental tuition market, spearheaded by a recognised and valuable brand that already teaches more than 120 students every year.

As part of our mission to expand and grow, we have ambitious plans to leverage FGSOCO’s leadership position in France to reach new students and cover a wider range of subjects. Over the next five years, we will develop short training programmes in orthodontics, as well as new courses in areas such as endodontics and dental surgery. In parallel, we will incorporate Healthcademia^® advanced educational methodologies, by digitalising the entire catalogue of FGSOCO training materials and offering new, cutting-edge techniques and tools such as Typodont.

So – welcome FGSOCO! We are proud to have you join us on our mission to become the most trusted partner of healthcare professionals throughout their lifelong learning journey.

More recently, they have introduced the EOM academy, providing post-graduating continuing education in new and relevant specialist skills.

Like all of the academies and institutions under the Healthcademia^® umbrella, EOM is dedicated to developing both theoretical and practical knowledge. EOM remains constantly up to date with scientific and technical advances, effectively implementing these in its methodology, materials, and facilities.

Yet another powerhouse in healthcare professional training has joined our group! We look forward to collaborating with EOM to help a new generation of physiotherapists better support the patients in their communities.

A new addition to the Healthcademia^® group, the Instituto of Estudios Superiores Odontológicos (IESO) has over 20 years of experience educating professionals in advanced dentistry techniques. Healthcademia^® students can now undertake courses in in dental aesthetics, endodontics, periodontics, orthodontics, clinical management, implantology, surgery, prosthodontics, forensic odontology and TMKJ disorders.

This is an exciting acquisition for our network. Over 4,000 dentists have already chosen to train at IESO, mainly due to their focus on teaching students to accurately diagnose, provide comprehensive solutions, and apply the most modern techniques. This is achieved through an emphasis on practical training that requires learners to actively participate and put their theoretical knowledge to the test.

The IESO faculty is made up of experienced dentists who guide students using three fundamental pillars: the use of the most advanced technology, collaboration with teachers and professionals of recognised prestige, and clinical practice with patients. The majority of training programmes are accredited by the Spanish National Health System as well as the UDIMA distance university.

In addition, IESO is committed to making an impact on the community. Patients who are treated by the institute’s students gain access to effective dental treatments at affordable prices. Practice treatments are supervised by expert teachers, with a guaranteed end result equivalent to that found in a conventional dental clinic. IESO’s innovative approach puts them ahead of the competition; they are now rolling out on-line programmes in order to train even more dentists than ever before.

Welcome IESO!
