In this episode, Dr. Martin Mendelson and Dr. Kyle Stanley take a thoughtful look at the evolution of study clubs and where they fit in the future of dentistry. They explore the roots of study clubs as guilds, how these groups shaped early professional communities, and why their original purpose still matters today.
Kyle and Martin discuss how continuing education has shifted from local, in-person meetings to online programs, virtual communities, and on-demand learning and what that means for the modern dentist. They emphasize the importance of defining the mission, structure, and goals of a study club to keep it relevant and valuable in today’s fast-changing CE landscape.
The conversation wraps with insights on how study clubs can continue to thrive by focusing on authentic engagement, meaningful content, and the local relationships that make dentistry feel human. Whether you’re part of a study club or thinking about starting one, this episode offers a clear picture of what works, what doesn’t, and where the biggest opportunities are.
