Breakwater Seminars

2021 - 2022

ACADEMIC CALENDAR

Breakwater Seminars is an extension of the Casco Bay Study Club for aspiring young dentists focused on delivering excellence in interdisciplinary treatment planning. Drawing on resources from Seattle, Spear, and

the

International

Team

for

Implantology

(ITI)

Study

Clubs,

we

will

discuss

important

topics

in

comprehensive care from diagnosis to delivery. I strongly encourage you to start documenting your cases, so we can share them as part of our monthly #TPT events and year-end Treatment Planning Symposium.

My sincere gratitude goes out to you, our members, for showing your support for Breakwater Seminars during a year of true hardship. Our in-person and online meetings provided us with a sense of stability during these highly uncertain times. Thanks to you, we managed to deliver a nearly complete program, learned to navigate the new era of Zoom, and still made the most of our live events.

Breakwater Seminars has an exciting year planned, including a tour of Straumann USA, live surgical demonstrations, and hands-on photography and digital planning workshops. We also added a business track to equip you with better business, communication, and leadership skills that will serve you on your path toward practice ownership. You will find the schedule and membership benefits throughout this lookbook. Dr. Michael Cohen, the founder of the Seattle Study Club, will be kicking off our academic year in a live-streamed, interactive case discussion.

I am certain that we will emerge from this pandemic stronger and more successful. It is clear to me that providing members with opportunities to grow personally as well as professionally is key to continuing study club and practice success. I am personally committed to helping you achieve your goals through an intimate and immersive learning experience.

We will continue to build on the exceptional educational content and camaraderie and draw on recent technological advances and opportunities. As you will learn in the following pages, the 2021-22 academic calendar will comprise an unparalleled blend of in-person programs and online meetings. The journey continues!
