He says that everything about this event is special. There is no better continuing education. There is a vision behind the way this great Symposium is put together.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[02:33] Dr. Brian Schroder Has a practice in San Antonio, Texas and he is the director of The Alamo Collaborative Dental Forum. He likes the Seattle Study Club concept so much that as a general dentist, he took over the directorship of a club.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[02:45] The concept is very special it's based on excellence and relationships. It's also based on friendships when you come to these meetings you get to catch up with people that you haven't seen in awhile.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[03:06] The phenomenal clinical education is special to Dr. Brian Schroder, but one of the things that has stood out to him is the non-clinical education. We focus so much on the clinical aspect of dentistry when we need a lot of help in the non-clinical aspects.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[03:47] Dr. Robert Ritter has a practice in Jupiter, Florida. He has been coming to the Seattle Study Club for 10 years. </span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[04:41] Dr. Ritter explains how dentists need help with the acquisition and business phase of dentistry.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[04:45] Dental business is a challenging environment and the Seattle Study Club provides that business acumen that we need.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[04:56] A lot of other meetings don't have all of the components that this Symposium has.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[05:09] The Symposium is like going on a cruise and whatever you want to learn can be done for you here.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[05:21] There is also so much willingness to share information here at the symposium. There are so many knowledgeable people in the industry that are willing to share without judgment.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[05:56] If you want to know something about one procedure or one idea that person is usually here, and you can ask them right to their face.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[06:32] It's great to be together and get to see the people that we actually interact with.</span></p><br> <p></p>
