SPEAR STUDY CLUBS
INTERDISCIPLINARY EXCELLENCE
Spear Study Clubs are a practical method to the interdisciplinary team approach to treatment, which is the key to excellence – and shared success – in dentistry. The clubs are the brainchild of renowned double specialty (periodontist and prosthodontist) esthetic and restorative dentist and educator Dr. Frank Spear. He has been phenomenally successful in teaching specialists and general dentists how to work together to deliver comprehensive interdisciplinary restorative and esthetic dentistry, and create value added relationships.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
THE GROUP
As a Spear Study Club leader, you’ll hand-select at least five restorative dentists to form your group. Through seminar attendance and collaboration on interdisciplinary cases, you’ll truly take clinical skills and relationships to a new level.
SPEAR SEMINAR
The group will attend a 2 ½ day Spear seminar, where you’ll be motivated and energized by Frank Spear and other noted dental professionals. Choose from Mastery Level Esthetics, Occlusion or Treating the Worn Dentition.
CASE STUDIES
The heart of the study club program is a carefully structured clinical agenda including eight fully documented interdisciplinary case studies for use at meetings. You’ll create treatment plans and work through interactive DVD supported presentations, narrated and directed by Dr. Steve Ratcliff.
MATERIALS AND RESOURCES
One hour of coaching via telephone with study club expert Dr. Steve Ratcliff, a highly trained restorative dentist and expert in adult learning. He knows how to create small group learning experiences that work! A turnkey manual will help you administer your study club with minimized time and effort and maximum impact.
ANNUAL EVENT
Study club leaders attend an annual event with Frank Spear and other premier speakers, including Drs. Vince Kokich, and Dave Matthews. You’ll leave with new information, fresh ideas and renewed commitment to your practice and your club for the coming year.
