More explanation on contribution to the iPad iBook – for individuals

Wisam Al-Rawi — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 14:54:36 +0000

Maybe more details should have been provided. Here are some ways on how you can tribute to the iPad iBook:

Case Contribution: want to share an interesting case with the rest of the world and help with education, you can do that as a case(s) contributor. You will get your name and your practice name mentioned in the book for every case you submit. Radiographs in general are accepted both 2D and 3D (CBCT). High quality images are definitely preferred. Full cases with intraoral pictures (When applicable), pre and post-follow up radiographs, 2D and 3D for the same case are just great learning cases! (Invitation is open to anyone and not limited).
Chapter Contribution: you help author or co-author a chapter in the book. This takes more time and requires commitment. Thus the limited invitation.

Please let us know how you would like to contribute and we will follow-up with you with more details. Let us know how you feel about all of this. Support letters are always welcomed.

Thanks for your generosity and for your help to make learning better!
