GIFTED commenced its course in Sudan, with a new intake starting October 2009. The GIFTED programme has been recognised by the General Dental Council (Sudan) as a requirement to be licensed to practice implant dentistry. The new Sudan course has over 30 students enrolled. At least half of these students are keen to continue on to the University of Warwick Masters programme. GIFTED is now able to offer hands-on training in its clinic facilities in both Dubai and Sudan (Elrazi College). Clinical training is supported by a dental laboratory well equipped with state of the art technology where dental technicians will receive instruction in the fabrication of implant restorations.
