Recognized Specialist
A Recognized Specialist is a participant who has completed the designated Kois Courses which pertain to their specialized dental education.
In pursuit of becoming a Recognized Specialist, existing course prerequisites have been modified. For instance, for Track Course VI & VII, the only prerequisites are Courses I & II (as opposed to Courses I, II, III, IV & V for other dental professionals).
