Doing Dentistry Together ®
This fall, our club will be starting the fifth year of its journey as an affiliate of the Seattle Study Club. This is a particularly exciting year as we are represented by two co-directors!
We bring together 11 exciting programs over 10 months. We will focus on clinical periodontics as the foundation for the complex, and interdisciplinary dentistry that we carry out on a daily basis. To that end, we have invited some of the most talented periodontists in southern California over 4 evening programs. We are so happy to announce that Dr. Gerard Chiche will be overseeing a hands-on workshop program on esthetic dentistry in December. In June we will, as a group, celebrate in the annual symposium where we hope to see our members blossom and present cases and techniques that we work hard to develop and perfect.
See you all at the meetings!
Very best,
Jin Y. Kim, DDS, MPH, MS, FACD & Gianmarco O’Brien, DDS
