Continuing Education for the Dental Professional

As a care provider, dentists are required to stay on top of new information and technologies to better serve their patients. At Metropolitan Periodontists, we are committed to providing the highest level of periodontal treatment options and implant solutions for each patient’s unique situation. Drs. Wilson and Kersten of Metropolitan Periodontists educate themselves as well as other professionals in the dental field on advanced techniques and patient care through the City of Lakes Study Club, City of Lakes Hygiene Study Club and Dental Implant program.

The City of Lakes Study Club

The City of Lakes Study Club, which is an affiliate of the Seattle Study Club, is often referred to as a 'University without walls'. It is recognized as one of the most advanced continuing education groups for dental professionals in the nation.

The City of Lakes Study Club is fully accredited by the State of Minnesota for continuing education. It takes a unique approach to the learning process. We have several clinical sessions throughout the study club year, which includes the evaluation and treatment planning of actual patients. Problem-solving workshops and clinical demonstration sessions are also included in the program. In addition, quality laboratory personnel and representatives provide technical support from ancillary companies for relevant sessions. Members can expect 45-55 hours of CE per year with team members getting 15-20 hours per year.

Thank you for visiting our City of Lakes Study Club page. We have selected the speakers and programs for our upcoming study club year based on feedback that received from our members.

The feedback we heard unanimously is the request for more team programs, more opportunities to share with your team, more motivation, and more direction to help young teams succeed. We want you to know that we have listened to your requests. We have selected programs that will include many more opportunities for your team to learn with you. This is an opportunity for your licensed employees to get their CE and all of your employees to step it up to the next level.

Our team programs will include 4 in-person meetings, 3 live speakers, a doctor and front office meeting, and 6 pre-recorded videos that will be emailed to you to share with your team. The 6 pre-recorded videos include 9 hours of CE and are part of your tuition.
