Greater Lafayette Study Club

Background

The Greater Lafayette Study Club began with an initial kick off dinner in September of 2006.  Through our affiliation with the Seattle Study Club, it is our hope to provide more organization and structure to the educational experience for the dentists in the Greater Lafayette area.

The original Seattle Study Club was started in 1992. After completion of his graduate training, Dr. Michael Cohen began a private practice in Seattle, Washington and initiated a study club.  The concept and format of this study club evolved into a highly successful program that includes case presentations, nationally renowned speakers and clinical sessions.  The goal being an increase in the general level of knowledge for the dentists involved and a benefit to the patient in a more comprehensive approach to care.

There are currently over 200 Seattle Study Clubs in existence.  The reputation of this organization and the number of members allows for a strong network and proven approach to continuing education.  In addition to our local study club meetings, there are national meetings that are available for directors, coordinators, members and staff to attend.

Mission Statement

To provide an opportunity for the exchange of ideas and information among colleagues that will lead to an elevation in the knowledge and skills of the art and science of dentistry.

The ultimate objective of this interaction being an improvement in the diagnosis, treatment planning, therapy and oral health for the population of Lafayette, Indiana and surrounding communities.
