My growing involvement in dental study groups.

Full Abstract

The lessons from managing a successful study club are learned over a life-time of practice, just a dentistry is. The author, who has taught numerous participation continuing education courses using the study club model and mentored many study clubs identifies these criteria for success:
a respected mentor, open feedback, multiple points, of view, a clear mission and structure, and attention to the changing needs of the participants over time. A study club that has renewed itself effectively over a twenty-year period is described as a possible model.
