In-person dental CE courses are a great way to elevate your practice and increase revenue.
But are they better than a webinar dental course?
In this blog post, we’re going to weigh the pros and cons of live vs. online dental courses to help you decide which is the best investment for your practice’s growth.
Let’s dive right in!
First, let’s go over what a CE course is.
A CE course, otherwise known as a continuing education course, is a course that dentists attend to receive credits.
These credit hours are required by their state dental boards and ensure a dentist stays updated on dentistry trends. The number of credits required to maintain licensure can vary by state.
When it comes to choosing a course, dentists have two options:
Let’s take a closer look at how these two types of workshops compare.
An in-person dental CE course is designed to help dentists learn new high-value skills that can benefit their practice in a hands-on setting.
A webinar dental CE class, on the other hand, is an informative workshop held online.
While these webinars can be held live virtually, they’re often pre-recorded and available to be watched from anywhere, making them a great option for dentists with busy schedules.
However, webinar workshops tend to lack the interactive, hands-on experience that face-to-face workshops do.
Check out these 5 reasons you should invest in a live dental CE course.
Every leader knows that once you stop learning, you stop growing.
This is especially true for the medical field. In our digital age, technology, and procedures are constantly evolving, and if you don’t take the time to stay updated and learn new skills, you will fall behind.
Enrolling in live digital dentistry CE courses is a great opportunity to learn new high-value skills and keep up with the changes in the dental industry.
From learning how to properly prep and apply veneers to photographing your patient’s amazing results, in-person digital dentistry courses allow you to quickly hone your skills and learn new ones in a hands-on setting.
The best part about learning new high-value skills in a live CE course?
You can immediately put your new skills to use in your practice. That means selling highly profitable procedures right after class completion, such as:
In-person classes also allow you to gain confidence in your newfound skills in a hands-on setting, so you can more confidently sell them to your patients.
With many new digital dentistry technologies, you can now show your patients what their smiles could be using high-tech imaging to create a digital rendering of what your patients’ smiles can look like if they invest in the treatment.
The result? These treatments become irresistible to patients, and selling them quicker and easier than before no matter the price.
But most importantly, you improve the patient experience by giving them confidence in their decision and helping them create a smile that they love.
As a healthcare provider, your patients’ satisfaction should be your top priority.
With the new skills you learn from CE courses, you can streamline your workflow, making your services quicker, more efficient, and more accurate–earning you a five-star reputation (and reviews!).
Some dentists may see the in-person continuing education classes as being time-consuming, and when you factor in travel time, just not plausible.
However, the benefits of attending a live CE course far outweigh the day or two spent away from your practice.
Live CE courses provide the opportunity to hear directly from industry experts, ask questions, and receive feedback in real-time. These lecturers are dedicated to innovation and provide a wealth of experience and knowledge in the field of digital dentistry.
Additionally, live workshops allow you to network with other dentists at the event and create valuable connections.
Feel like your current workflow is holding you back?
When you adopt new technologies and procedures, your practices’ workflow will become more streamlined and efficient. With digital dentistry, you can save valuable time and resources.
Not only does this make employees happy, but patients as well!
