Announcing the Launch of the Highly Anticipated
WSP Periodontics Study Club
Starting February 2024
This initiative is a testament to our commitment to fostering collaboration among periodontists, restorative dentists, and hygienists within the WSP community. The club is designed to facilitate knowledge exchange and professional networking, hosting six meetings annually, each on the first Saturday of every other month, starting at 9 am PST. Exclusively available to WSP members, this club offers a unique platform for shared insights and growth opportunities. We envision members hosting “breakfast with the stars,” inviting GP colleagues and hygienists to their offices, creating an enriching environment for collaborative learning. The fluid dynamics of the club empower members to shape its direction, ensuring discussions revolve around the most interesting and relevant topics. Join us on this exciting journey to elevate your expertise in periodontics and strengthen our professional community.
