What's New in Continuing Education?


by Howard M. Goldstein, DMD, Director of Continuing Education

Keep up-to-date with our Dentaltown CE offerings. Here are some new additions and some of my favorites.

Just a reminder that every course released since December 2011 is viewable on your iPad and Android tablets!

I also want to extend an invitation to active Townies. If you have an idea of a CE course you’d like to offer, run the idea by me and we’ll see if we can make it happen!

In the past month, we have released these excellent CE courses...

The 180-Degree Dental Journey: Part Two: Benchmarks and Financial Strategies
by Dr. Michael Abernathy

More competition, fewer dollars spent on health care, intrusions from corporate practices and insurance companies means we have to be at the top of our dental game. It is time to design a business model for dentistry that will not only compete in this economy, but actually guarantee predictive growth while lowering overhead and stress. No business should try to compete without challenging benchmarks. Once you have your target in the form of various benchmarks, you need to build your business model with a sound financial system.

At the end of this training session, you will have black and white goals and targets to guide you in your pursuit of growth. This session starts with all things financial and ensures that your office will have the tools to do treatment estimates, insurance processing, 100 percent collections, patient financing and proper accounts receivable management. Multi-million dollar practices are guided by these financial policies, and you will be exposed to all things financial in a Super General Dental Practice.

This is part two of a six-part series that as a whole gives you every step to thrive in dentistry in any location or economy. Currently this CE course is being offered at only $18 to view.

Medical Emergency Mastery
by Dr. Catharine Goodson

Medical emergency mastery was developed to teach dentists and their staff how to recognize and manage medical emergencies in their practice so they can best protect their patient’s health and safety. Adequate emergency preparation involves four key areas: a properly constructed medical history, a working knowledge of the signs and symptoms of the eight most common medical emergencies, construction of a straightforward, easily reproducible emergency drug kit and staff training that can be accomplished with as few as three responders. Participants will be provided with the tools to customize a medical history that is reflective of their patient population. The signs, symptoms and necessary responses for each of the most commonly occurring emergencies will be outlined. Doctors will be able to construct a personalized emergency preparation system that includes only necessary drugs and equipment. Staff training will be outlined in detail, as well as all necessary checklists, review logs and equipment maintenance records. Currently this CE course is being offered at only $18 to view.

What Exactly is CBCT and What Does One Need to Know Before Use or Purchase?
by Dr. James Mah

This course covers all aspects of advances, features and technology of CBCT devices and gives a comprehensive understanding of this important device in dentistry. This course is extremely helpful to potential cone-beam CT purchasers and users as well as all dental professionals. It focuses on key decisions relating to appropriate field of view and imaging needs and goals. A discussion of technical performance details is provided to allow for comparison between devices. The author discusses image quality parameters, performance specs and addresses when to purchase a CBCT.
