Our focus will be on the pediatric population, however, considering the nature and impact of this area of study, we will occasionally discuss topics related to adults.
The purpose of this study group is to allow clinicians to expand their knowledge of growth and development, airway, and interceptive orthodontics, etc. by discussing and sharing cases, treatment modalities, and journal articles. When available, a guest health professional (ex. Orofacial myologist, ENT, etc.) speaker will give a short presentation on related topics.
Participants are encouraged to bring cases to share, including cases in the diagnostic phase as these are great to discuss as well!
Meeting Dates and Time
The study club meets starting in September and will go through May of each calendar year. The study club will start at 6:30pm and end at 9:00.
This study club is a member benefit for all Minnesota AGD members.
