But as with anything else, when you first dip your toe into it, you're gonna start to become more comfortable and you're gonna grow.

And I grew into a position where that education, I became very passionate about it.

So I still currently teach workshops.

I just came back from Toronto this weekend doing a four-day digital workshop.

I'll be heading to Scottsdale later this week to do that.

So that still is a persisting passion of mine.

when i had the opportunity with teaching underneath the spear umbrella when i had the opportunity to step into more of a leadership role where i could support our incredible faculty on developing education and work with a really enthusiastic capable team on on shaping what the future of dental education would be i jumped at that opportunity it was certainly my passion i enjoy clinical dentistry i still really enjoy being chair side and interacting with patients

But being able to frame and shape what continued education looks like to me was a great opportunity.

And Bill, when I look back on my career and I see the trajectory and the impact that certain individuals have had and the impact of CE and how consequential that's been for my personal career growth, I'm immensely grateful for those opportunities.

So to be able to be on the other side, to help get back, just an opportunity that I'm so thankful for.

And I really enjoy working with a very capable and

energetic spear team.

Yeah, I would wholeheartedly agree with that, Bill, that we do see a lack of structure.

And I think if we look back to previous years or decades of dentistry, you can see why that has occurred.

So as an independent dentist, which a lot of the chief dental officers who are leading these organizations were independent at one point,

they look back on their career and when they took continued education it wasn't a pathway or a program they were able to self-identify a need so from my perspective or my personal experience you know many years ago we saw a need for clear liner therapy so we invested in clear liner therapy we bought the appropriate technology eventually scanners and i went out on weekends and i learned as much as i could and i brought my team along where we could

You know, you can implement the same thing.

Once years later, we had a component where implants were necessity, then we incorporated that.

So there was a lot of self-identification as to what those pain points were.

And the chief dental officers who are in charge of the education for these DSOs, they probably had a very similar trajectory to mine, where they were able to effectively self-identify their pain points or shortcomings.
