Since the pandemic, the way dentists and specialists learn has shifted dramatically from conferences and study clubs to phones, apps, and other content, but not all digital education is created equal. In this episode, Dr. Grant Stucki welcomes back Denver oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Tom Stone to explore how healthcare education has changed, why today’s clinicians expect “consumer-grade” learning experiences, and how drtalk is designed to meet them where they are. Dr. Stone explains why specialist-led education remains one of the most powerful practice builders, how teaching treatment planning can transform the implant revenue cycle, and why traditional in-person events experienced a steep decline even before the COVID-19 pandemic. He also highlights the risks of leveraging non-HIPAA-compliant platforms and the benefits of a mobile-first platform that supports secure case sharing, anonymous Q&A, and ongoing mentorship. Gain insights into how practices are using channels and virtual study clubs to scale education, streamline referral communication, monetize clinical expertise, and more. Tune in now!
