Your course coordinator is Dr Bakr who will take students through the complexities of facial and neck anatomy. 

This interactive course will be delivered by Zoom over a 6 week period, with reinforcement quizzes at the end of each week (delivered by ACAM’s e-skilled platform). Dr. Bakr is the Director of Clinical Education (Dentistry) and a Senior Lecturer in General Dental Practice at the School of Dentistry and Oral health – Griffith University. He received his Bachelor Degree in Dental Medicine and Surgery from Cairo University in 2004 and completed his Master Degree in 2010.  

In 2012, Dr. Bakr was appointed as a full-time Lecturer in General Dental Practice with a special interest in teaching Oral Biology and Head and Neck Anatomy. In 2014, Dr. Bakr completed a Graduate Certificate in Higher Education and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in 2019. Currently, Dr. Bakr is an accredited examiner for the Australian Dental Council Examination for overseas training dentists. Besides his teaching commitments, Mahmoud remains to be a clinician and undergoes private dental practice within Griffith University Dental Clinics. He has also published over 45 peer reviewed journal articles in different fields including the effect of Botulinum Toxin on different oral tissues.  

Students can expect to gain knowledge of facial landmarks, veins and arteries, the bony foundations of the face and its relationship to the musculature and how aging affects both. Students will learn to appreciate the cosmetic “danger zones” important to all cosmetic injectors and skin cancer doctors. This course is suitable for those interested in cosmetic medicine, skin cancer medicine or those who would like to increase their overall knowledge of facial anatomy. On completion of the lecture series and quizzes students will be awarded a certificate of completion.
