- A private, online community where Dojo participants exchange ideas, tips, and questions with one another.
- A year-long curriculum designed specifically for advanced cosmetic education providing CE credits.
- Limited to 30 participants per cohort.
AACD Dental Dojo Structure
The AACD Dental Dojo is a
year-long program to cover core/foundational topics and to build a baseline for the clinical skill set required for success. Participants
join at a kick-off reception at the Annual Scientific Session and the full year of education follows.
Online courses are held and are mixed with educational content recorded and curated for this purpose. During this year long experience, a
private Dental Dojo discussion board will be available on MyAACD that will facilitate meaningful interactions of cohorts between sessions. For the pilot program, your professional development investment is $2,995, or six payments commencing on April ending in September.
