    What's changing

    The Mini Residency Is Evolving

    The in-person, multi-session Mini Residency is moving to a hybrid format. Same system, same faculty, same clinical depth, delivered in a way that fits around a working practice.

    Why

    Less time away from your practice

    Traveling for several multi-day sessions meant closing the practice again and again. The hybrid format keeps the depth of a Mini Residency while cutting the time you spend away from your patients.

    How

    Online foundations, hands-on sessions

    Complete the foundational learning online, on your own schedule. Then use the in-person sessions in Philadelphia to deepen clinical skills, work through practical application and learn directly alongside leading clinicians and peers, spread over several months.

    What stays the same

    The Olmos System, taught in full

    A complete, evidence-based system for evaluating and treating TMD and airway-related conditions: joint imaging interpretation, craniofacial assessment, appliance therapy protocols and the manuals, procedures and forms to bring it into your practice.

    Who Should Attend This TMJ Mini Residency?

    Whether you are expanding your scope of care or pursuing focused TMJ continuing education, this program provides real-world application you can immediately integrate into practice. Learn more about why our Mini-Residency outpaces the rest. Real dentists, Real results.

    What is changing about the Mini Residency?
    The Mini Residency is moving from separate multi-day in-person sessions to a hybrid format: foundational learning online, on your own schedule, followed by immersive hands-on sessions in Philadelphia. Dates, locations and registration details will be announced soon.
    What will dentists learn in your TMD and TMJ Mini Residency?
    The Mini Residency provides dentists with a complete, evidence based system for evaluating and treating TMD, TMJ disorders, and airway related conditions. Training includes joint imaging interpretation, craniofacial assessment, appliance therapy protocols, clinical workflow development, and implementation strategies that allow providers to confidently integrate TMJ and airway services into their practices.
    Do you offer dental CE credits through your courses?
    Yes. Our dental continuing education programs provide dental CE credits for dentists, specialists, and dental teams. These courses focus on practical clinical application in TMJ therapy, airway dysfunction, and dental sleep medicine rather than theory alone.
    How does your Mini Residency differ from other dental CE programs?
    Unlike lecture-only or online CE courses, our Mini Residency teaches a proven step-by-step diagnostic and treatment system. Dentists receive hands-on training, clinical mentorship, standardized protocols, and real case analysis that can be implemented immediately to help complex TMJ and airway patients.
    Who can attend your TMJ, TMD, and dental sleep medicine courses?
    Our programs are open to general dentists, specialists, dental teams, and students seeking advanced training in TMJ disorders, craniofacial pain, airway dysfunction, and dental sleep medicine. Team participation is encouraged, as our protocols are staff driven and designed for efficient clinical implementation.
    Do you offer education focused on dental sleep medicine and airway therapy?
    Yes. Our courses include comprehensive education in dental sleep medicine and airway focused therapy, covering evaluation of sleep disordered breathing, appliance therapy protocols, and workflow systems that allow dentists to confidently treat sleep and airway patients.
    Can I still train in person before the new dates are announced?
    Yes. The Adjunct Mini Residency runs in person, and the free Micro Residency is available online, on demand, right now.
    How can dentists register for the Mini Residency?
    Registration opens when the hybrid dates are announced. Leave your details in the "Be First to Know" form on this page and we will email you the moment registration opens, including early-bird pricing.
