introduction
Seattle Study Club - Doing Dentistry Together ®
In the summer of 2022, West Coast Study Club just celebrated its third year in operation. Although there are many study clubs around us, we strive to stand out by making continual quest for perfection in dental experience, knowledge and business skills the main thrust of our mission. I am pleased to say that 34 members have enjoyed just that.
In September we go for it again, with our season number 4.
A full year of fun filled, energetic curriculum, that are created by members and guaranteed to bring back returns in many ways. There are three symposia to attend this year. A mini-SSC symposium in Chicago in September, and the annual SSC symposium in Orlando in January 2023. In November, we are arranging our first symposium of our very own – yes, WCSC Symposium with all presenters being our own members, together with a special appearance of (drum roll, please)… Dr. Michael Cohen, himself. He is the founder of Seattle Study Club, in case you were not aware.
Please come join, or re-join, and let’s continue our climb to the top of our careers! Let’s do dentistry together! Collaborate, not compete!
