"Are you frustrated by how much time and money
you spend on Continuing Education every year —
without ever seeing a substantial improvement
in your dental practice?"
I have some news for you about a new service that can help you retain more clients, provide better client service, and improve your profitability.
And I want to tell you about a special offer that can save you up to $595.
But first, I have a question.
Does the following story sound familiar?
You sign up to attend a Continuing Education class. You spend a few hundred dollars (or more) for tuition. Then the day (or week) of the class arrives. You grit your teeth (metaphorically of course) as you head off to training, knowing that you're inconveniencing not just yourself and your staff, but your patients as well.
In the classroom, you try to absorb what you're hearing. But you spend a lot of time wondering how things are running back at the office without you. You wonder how much paperwork is piling up on your desk while you're gone.
In the continuing education session, you learn some great theories, tips and techniques. You take a lot of cryptic notes that seem to make sense at the time. And you tell yourself,
"This time I'm really going to use what I learn.
This time, I'm going to get my money's worth."
You promise yourself you'll review your notes soon. Then you get back to the office. And you start wading through the paperwork and phone messages that filled your in-box while you were out.
The class binder and notes sit on your desk for about a week before you finally put them on your bookshelf and forget about them forever.
And then you go back to "business as usual."
Do you feel guilty for spending so much time and money
on education that you never put into practice?
I don't blame you.
And I've been teaching continuing education courses to dentists for over sixteen years!
I get a great sense of satisfaction from helping a fellow dentist learn a new skill. I know my teaching methods are sound, and my course content is relevant.
But because continuing education classes emphasize book learning instead of actual hands-on experience, very few dentists are able to translate a continuing education course into a real-world business improvement. In other words, when it comes to continuing education,
it's all theory and no practice.
As an educator, I think this is a shame. As a practicing dentist myself, I know firsthand the value of continuing education when it comes to protection from liability, increased professionalism, improved patient experience and bottom-line financial results.
But only if you implement what you learn.
I've taught over 3,000 dentists during my 12 year tenure at The Pankey Institute for Advanced Dental Education in Key Biscayne. And over the years, a number of students have urged me to get the training out of the classroom and into their real-world dental practice.
And that's why I'm very pleased to announce my new service,
Live On-Site Coaching
for the Dental Professional
Why is live, on-site continuing education coaching so superior to classroom training alone?
Location. I train you and your team in your facility, where you work every day.
Impact. You'll learn techniques on live patients, not from a slideshow or lecture.
Customization. We can concentrate on the areas where you need the most improvement.
Immediacy. You don't have to wait to get back to the office to try a new skill. You learn it in your office, on your equipment.
Retention. You learn using all of your senses, instead of just by listening to a lecture. So you retain more information.
"I was in a master-mind group of management consultants last week down in Austin. Your name came up when we were discussing where our clients could get the best information and training. We all were in agreement that you are the new guru."
— Betsy Wheat, Business Consultant
Some things are just very hard to learn without doing them. That's why I offer live, on-site, one-on-one coaching on:
q More effective (and more profitable) scheduling—so you can have enough time to address all the details and maximize the profit potential of every hour of every day.
q Complete masticatory system exams—done in a way that's interesting and meaningful to both you and your patient
q Bite Splint fabrication and insertion—to help you get control of the system before you do the definitive porcelain
q Diagnostic blueprint creation using articulated diagnostic casts—an effective technique that allows you and your patient to see where you’re going before you start prepping teeth
q Creating effective, logical treatment plans and sequences—in a way that's appropriate for your patients' circumstances
And much, much more.
