Having been in the dental industry for more than 40 years, one of the things Gary has noticed is the importance of CE to dentists. Unfortunately, some dentists barely take the required CE and scramble towards it by the end of the year with CE lapses, trying to keep their license.
But, on the other hand, the world-class dentists will often achieve it in the first two to three months, and they’ll take a geometric level of additional CE, which will assist them, to achieve two main benefits.
Until today Gary has not met a world-class dentist who is not deeply committed to CE. So why do world-class dentists do so much of CE, and how does it benefit them?
Tune in to the podcast to know details on the various CE resources that will benefit you according to your dental practice and also help you understand the following:
- Why is CE so important to dentists?
- What is the correlation between dentists and the amount of CE they’ve taken?
- Why does CE bring happiness and satisfaction to dentists?
- How does CE improve the number of patients you get and make them fortunate?
- Does CE cost a lot?
Listen to the episode now to learn about the best resources that will assist you in creating a thriving dental practice!
