When I was a sophomore in dental school, a local Amherst, NY dentist in his mid to late 60s would teach clinical labs to the students. He was a crotchety old guy (Aren't most of us old guys?) who used to give 2nd year students a hard time with the projects that we needed to complete. Dr. K had probably been a dentist for 30 or 35 years and he was most proud of the fact that he had completed 450 hours of Continuing Education.This he reminded us was equivalent to having gone to dental school twice.
450 hours? Really?
I have over 6,000* hours of CE and that does not include the year that I spent in my Residency Program at the old EJ Meyer Hospital in Buffalo, NY.
Now why would a dentist take so many hours of CE???
Simple!!!
To take better care of you and your family.
Unfortunately, the majority of patients (both Medical and Dental) believe that all physicians and all dentists are the same. Nothing could be further from the truth. The best doctors are far superior to the average doctor and even the doctors know that.
Find good people to take care of you!!!!!
*Please note that NOT one of these hours was on a cruise ship or in a vacation area so that a dentist will go to the conference for an hour and take side trips for the rest of the day.
