Study Club Benefits
Hands-on
Study clubs provide an unparalleled continuing dental education experience. Advances in clinical expertise are gained in a “hands-on” small group format with individualized instruction and reinforced by repetition. Success comes through visualizing the desired outcome, learning each of the steps in the process, and applying them both by repetition and by observation of the work of one’s colleagues.
Collegial
Contact between like-minded individuals meeting at a study club on a regular basis helps sustain enthusiasm for the process. Friendships develop that result in the free exchange of ideas and information that may range well beyond the particular focus of the study club itself. This is a significant benefit to those practitioners who don’t usually work alongside colleagues.
Professional
In itself study club membership tells your patients and staff that you are personally committed to getting better at your profession. It also provides an excellent opportunity for staff members to learn alongside you so the same services may then be done more reliably and efficiently in your own practice. In this way dentistry becomes more enjoyable.
