No, they are not part time or distance learning courses, that youll pursue them together. You need proper dedication and time in both MDS or Fellowship in Cosmetic Dentistry. In Medical/ Dental Studies your aim should be to become a Master in a Domain instead of being Jack Of All Trades and Master of None.
