Al is joined by his best friend from dental school, Dr. Bart Schultz. Their main conversation focuses on getting the most out of continuing education. Their wide ranging conversation covered a LOT of topics:
- Why you should be doing more consults? What does a consult do for you?
- Getting reps
- Why "my practice isn't like that..." is a cop out
- The "surgically comfortable" mindset (some people are just plain less scared to try new stuff)
- Getting reps and keeping reps up
- Learning that you DON'T want to something is still useful information
- Note co-op from dental school
- 16 finals in 2 days and mixing zinc phosphate
- Context and why dental school doesn't work
- Dentists and interpersonal skills
- How to take away the right stuff from CE
- CE as an investment...take CE early = get more from your investment
