We are a group of general dentists, associates, lab technicians, and one specialist.
We are an ongoing hands-on participation study club, performing current dental procedures on patients in a clinical setting, while receiving active feedback from the mentor and other members.
We are all students in the study club, and we are all teachers in the study club.
We are an approved Academy of General Dentistry continuing education provider.
We are the oldest dental study club in the Inland Northwest that is still in existence (it was started in 1961).

We meet in the dental offices of various members, primarily in Spokane and Coeur d'Alene.
