As part of an initiative to expand its training offerings to doctors and staff, Carestream Dental is excited to introduce the Carestream Dental Institute, formerly the MasterWorks LearnCenter. The institute incorporates live online training, self-paced content, hands-on seminars and personalized onsite training to provide practitioners with a wide variety of training options to meet their needs and schedules.
“Digital technology is a rapidly growing field, but it’s not without a learning curve,” Melissa Whiteman, director of global educational development, said. “Doctors who transition from paper charts to an electronic practice management system; switch from film radiographs to direct digital; or implement a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) system within their office all require in-depth training and programs to ease the transition and maximize their capabilities.”
The Carestream Dental Institute brings together employee, dealer and customer training under one umbrella that includes:
Online training including everything from live webinars, many of which offer Continuing Education credits; online courses with a live instructor; and self-paced how-to guides for using Carestream Dental technology. To make materials more accessible from a global perspective, online training is available in a number of different languages.
Onsite training that can be tailored to a practice’s needs. With onsite training, a dedicated trainer visits the practice to work closely with staff and doctors. Onsite training length ranges from one to three eight-hour days.
Multiple hands-on courses and educational seminars hosted by doctors, held across the country and focusing on topics such as CAD/CAM and CBCT. These sessions are an ideal way for practitioners to earn CE credits; learn more about the latest technology; and determine whether or not it’s a good fit for their practices.
As a leader in digital technology, Carestream Dental recognizes that training must be readily available, laser-focused and robust. With the Carestream Dental Institute, practitioners receive not only detailed education—on-site, hands-on and online—but also continued education as they grow and expand their practices.
