They want to understand the difference between diagnosing a filling versus a crown, and they want to have the clinical confidence and the communication confidence to be able to execute that effectively.

So we're taking our learnings on clinical excellence and applying it under a different lens.

So to circle back to your question, Bill, I think you need both.

You want to obviously provide the

the clinician with some level of autonomy to investigate all aspects of dentistry and find out what interests them most effectively.

But to fill that confidence gap and that skill gap that we see between dental school and real world clinical dentistry, you also need to continue on with the structured pathway.

And so we developed blended learning programs, which are different than the historical, watch a webinar or go to a workshop, implement a certain percentage of what you've learned, and you know that would be successful.

So now what we're incorporating is on-demand asynchronous videos that are high impact, that will show you specific skill sets to elevate your dentistry, your communication, your leadership skills, all of the above.

To decrease the onus of travel or the inconvenience of travel, we now have hybrid models where we're sending models and exercises that clinicians can do right from their clinic, right from the comfort of their home or their clinics so they don't have to travel.

And there is a feedback mechanism with that where they're able to get in very quick time feedback on those clinical skill sets.

We have, of course, virtual study club sessions where you're developing that community where you can bring cases to very experienced world-class faculty where they can provide constructive feedback on those treatment plans or on clinical outcomes.

And they're able to share their journey as well and talk about some of the learnings that they've had.

And then with these blended learning programs, ultimately, it's going to culminate in a live workshop.

There really is no substitute in dental education for

being immersed in a high impact high energy environment where you are surrounded with your peers with exceptional faculty but we're finding that combining a lot of those other modalities makes the ramp time to incorporate these skill sets much faster and we're able to incorporate a higher percentage of these skills as well utilizing that multi-focal uh

attack and that multi-pronged approach.

So in answer to your question, yeah, our Discover membership allows 1500 access to 1500 videos and a variety of different disciplines.

But, you know, if you're just picking out a cart, sometimes we're not able to implement those as effectively, which is where a structured program with certain gates credentialed with proper feedback mechanism and mentorship

and support coaching and guidance where that really serves a different role than just the a la carte component that I really was brought up on.

So yeah, both approaches work really effectively, but we've been focusing heavily on that structured blended learning program.
