Bucks County Mini-Residency Program
We are committed to providing the highest quality of care for our patients and it is through continuing education that we can stay on top of the latest developments. We provide a variety of educational opportunities for our referring offices through the Bucks County Mini-Residency Program.
The primary emphasis of the study group is to provide the best in continuing education in Implant and Periodontal Dentistry. The Mini-Residency Program has been a forum for the introduction of state-of-the-art techniques and important updates on current methods.
The Mini-Residency Program is an accredited continuing education program for dental professionals including dentists, dental hygienists, assistants, administrative staff, and laboratory technicians. It was founded and is directed by Dr. Edward Marcus.
The Mini-Residency Program is a study group consisting of a select group of outstanding dentists and dental specialists who join together in the pursuit of higher learning. Their goal is to keep their professional community in the forefront of dental technology while assuring their patients the most up-to-date treatment available.
In addition to education, the program focuses on building relationships with our members and their offices. These relationships improve treatment coordination between offices to make the patient education and treatment process the most effective.
The program generally consists of six sessions, beginning in October and concluding in May.
2025-2026 Updated Program
In this our thirty fourth year, the program kicks off with Dr. Naren Rajan presenting: “Top Reasons to Digitize Today.” Dr. Rajan is an expert on the digital interfaces for everyday dental practices. He will show how the implementation of digital technology into your practice enhances patient care and office efficiency. Two treatment planning sessions are scheduled which include new information from the current literature and national meetings. All members are asked to participate by reporting on an interesting article, technique, new material, or lecture they have reviewed/attended. There are two doctor-hygienist-staff meetings this year. The first evening meeting will feature Dr. Jennifer Vermillion presenting “GLP1 and Effects on Dentistry.” This class of diabetic/weight loss drugs are now being utilized by millions of people, many of whom will not share this knowledge with their dentist. This presentation will help us to better care for these individuals by having the knowledge of the drug’s mechanism of action and side effects. The second and all day meeting, Karima Bapoo-Mohamed will be presenting: “Invest in Your Patients: Health Centered Optimum Patient Care.” Karima is an amazing speaker and has lectured extensively on many dental topics pertaining to clinical practice which includes both essential clinical and practice management strategies. Your entire staff will come away from this presentation with immediately useful information to incorporate into your practice. We end the year’s program with our traditional meeting on “Failures”, where we all learn from things that went awry and share interesting office experiences.
Please call the office for total cost or per course tuition. As always, if you have never attended one of our meetings, you are invited to attend the kickoff meeting as our guest at no charge.
