Seattle Study Club®

Founded by Dr. Kwon, the NH Study Club for Excellence in Dentistry is affiliated with the Seattle Study Club network, an international collaboration of dentists dedicated to promoting excellence in comprehensive dentistry. The NH Study Club for Excellence in Dentistry is a group of New Hampshire and Vermont dentists who enjoy sharing ideas, discussing treatment concepts and learning from leading experts. Clinicians within the Seattle Study Club organization are motivated to learn more and achieve a higher level of comprehensive care for their patients. During each academic year, clinicians meet regularly and complete a total of eight modules, covering various cutting-edge topics in dentistry. Furthermore, we share the same philosophy on continuing education:

Neither ideal learning nor ideal dentistry can be attained by a random exposure to various techniques and treatment modalities, even if those techniques, taken individually, represent “state-of-the-art” treatment. Rather, the highest and most beneficial knowledge and treatment results from total case management—an appreciation of the “big picture” and a true understanding of the role any given technique or treatment plays in that picture.
Through “hands-on” experience in clinical sessions, club members enhance their treatment planning skills and learn how to bring an “expert’s” touch to the type of cases they treat every day.
Learning with and from one’s peers in a structured and supportive environment is the most effective way to master the challenges posed by the dental profession. The study club provides a forum for a comprehensive curriculum incorporating all aspects of clinical, didactic and academic learning.
