Dr. Cook is the director of the Intracoastal Dental Study Club, which is a member of Seattle Study Club, an international organization committed to advancing its members' knowledge to provide excellent care to every patient who comes through their doors.
The organization offers more than 32 hours of continuing education per year to dentists in the community through seminars. Dr. Cook is also a member of two SPEAR Study Clubs. He meets and teaches his colleagues and spends more than 10 hours per week outside of his office acquiring more knowledge in dentistry to apply to his patients and fellow dentists.
Seattle Study Club
Through hands-on experience in clinical sessions, club members enhance their treatment planning skills and learn how to bring an "expert's" touch to the type of cases they treat every day.
The third principle is the idea that learning with and from one's peers in a structured and supportive environment is the most effective way to master the challenges posed by the dental profession. The study club provides a forum for the "University Without Walls," a well-organized continuing education program, with a comprehensive curriculum incorporating all aspects of clinical, didactic, and academic learning.
Additionally, it is within the framework of the study club that members have access to an advisory board of skilled and experienced clinicians. These individuals provide a source for troubleshooting in more difficult clinical situations, pre-treatment consultations on selected cases, one-to-one mentoring for individual members, and lectures to the group on basic and advanced treatment planning principles, current literature, and case reviews. The advisory board is an educational resource unique to the Seattle Study Club environment.
