Why Continuing Education?

Modified: December 27, 2018 - 08:03 AM

Continuing Education:  training activities in which a professional has taken part over the course of his/her career.

Most professionals are required to participate in annual training and professional development, regulated and determined by state agencies or professional organizations.  Continuing education helps to maintain the individual’s skills and competent performance, with the broad goal of improving the overall quality of the profession.  These standards are required of most specialists in the health professions, as well as accountants, engineers, commercial pilots, educators, and attorneys, among others.

The Importance of Continuing Education

Dentistry is one of the most rapidly evolving professions among the health careers. Continual improvements in technology and techniques make continuing education especially important in this field.  Exciting opportunities for enhancement and expansion of the dentist’s skills are available, while also meeting the professional requirements for continuing education.  Dental hygienists are also required to obtain continuing education, and courses are beneficial and highly recommended for dental assistants also.  Most importantly, participation in quality continuing education such as that offered by Gerety Orthodontic Seminars will allow the dental professional to meet the goal of providing the highest standards of care for every patient.

At Gerety Orthodontic Seminars, we strive to make the entire learning experience of comprehensive orthodontics attainable, affordable, and convenient.  We know that continuing education may pose a challenge for the busy dentists today. For this precise reason, we have developed our course options to include both learning on-line and participation in on-site classroom courses.  We offer our comprehensive orthodontic course in both delivery methods, as well as an ever-expanding selection of mini-courses.  No matter your needs or unique circumstances, we will do our best to accommodate your situation.
