We offer\u2026<\/p>\n<h4>Student and Auxiliary Support<\/h4>\n<p>Each year the Center offers a Lunch-n-Learn day for dental technology students at J. Sergeant Reynolds Community College. We also offer all dental students a generous discount on tuitions for courses held at the Center throughout the year.<\/p>\n<h4>Staff Support and Training<\/h4>\n<p>There are few areas in dentistry we can have a more direct and positive impact with doctors than staff training. This has become one of our highest priorities for the future. By facilitating communication and understanding of their practice objectives, as well as providing convenient, affordable classes for direct training, we are helping to make doctors more effective in their treatment. Group and private training is ongoing through the year. We also support the assistants and hygienists associations as they maintain their own respective education programs.<\/p>\n<h4>Study Club Support<\/h4>\n<p>Nearly a dozen regional study groups meet here at the Center throughout the year, including specialists, restorative groups, practice management, auxiliaries, technicians, implant groups, and more. It really is the nucleus for learning in the Mid-Atlantic part of the country.<\/p>\n<h4>Market Surveys<\/h4>\n<p>As part of our CERP certification, we conduct regular surveys to monitor market needs. This is done both through exit surveys following each course as well as an annual survey of prospective participants. Our current course schedule is a direct result of feedback from participants requesting shorter, more affordable, topic specific programs. Participant feedback is only valuable if you listen and respond. One of our greatest strengths is the ability to change and programs based on needs and results. We are here \u201cto make a difference in dentistry.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Hosting Leaders in Dentistry<\/h4>\n<p>We are proud to host leaders in dentistry, from around the world, to teach quality dentistry to the dental team.
