Ortho study clubs help increase interaction, providing orthodontists with the opportunity to gain knowledge about products through their colleagues’ experimentation and analysis and to hear from respected opinion leaders directly. Focused study clubs provide an unparalleled opportunity for orthodontists to “meet with” other like-minded individuals and their team members and to learn in a friendly, non-threatening environment.

Ortho Tribune is taking this concept to the next level by bringing the study club online, extending the realm of interaction to a worldwide arena. This allows for a variety of fresh perspectives from different cultures to further enhance the educational mix, inspiring new possibilities and creating higher expectations in online learning.

OTStudyClub.com is solely focused on today’s orthodontist and offers an exciting mix of possibilities, including:

• C.E. lectures that are live and interactive, as well as archived, bringing local events to national audiences.

• Focused discussion forums that allow orthodontists to stay up to date.

• Ortho product reviews with recordings of opinion leaders’ first impressions.

• A growing database of case studies and articles featuring topics that are important to today’s orthodontists.

• Networking possibilities that go beyond borders to create a global ortho village.

• Contests with chances to win free tuition for ADA/CERP C.E. accredited Webinars; and much more!

Ortho Tribune is very excited about officially launching this initiative and would like to invite you to join us in breaking new ground in e-learning. On July 11, from 9 a.m.–5 p.m., Ortho Tribune will introduce the Ortho Tribune Study Club via a full-day online symposium.

The OTSC Online C.E. Festival — V.I.P Launch Party will feature five one-hour Webinars in succession, followed by a 20-minute live Q&A session between the online audience and each speaker.

Participants will receive seven ADA/CERP C.E. credits, and attendance is free for the first 100 registrants. After the first 100 spaces are filled, the cost of the full-day symposium is only $49, a mere fraction of what one would pay if traveling to an event. Live attendees also have 30-day access to the recorded Webinars to review at their convenience. Further details and registration can be found at www.OTStudyClub.com.

Registering as a Study Club member is free and provides access to accredited C.E. Webinars and other beneficial tools catering directly to orthodontics. For example, in today’s world of orthodontics, new products, concepts and techniques are brought to light with amazing speed, so it’s not surprising that many orthodontists are finding it difficult to stay up to date.

In an effort to make the most of practitioners’ time, www.OTStudy Club.com will feature “First Impressions,” a series of five-minute video vignettes. These will present various ortho products with support of demo videos and will be archived in an online product library to be viewed at any time.

Please keep in mind that the site will be officially launched on July 11! Register early and mark the date on your calendar!
