Open Loop Cricket with Epigenetic Appliances Study Club with Dr. Tim Adams

$2495.00 For ASBA Members
The American Sleep and Breathing Academy “ASBA” Study club seminars redefine what a successful dental sleep weekend course is.
The Study club is led by ASBA Diplomates “D’ASBA” who concentrate on helping attendees learn the skills to implement sleep apnea dentistry in their practice.
One main difference is the ASBA Study club does not allow product specific presentations unless competitive or comparable products are also presented,
which provides context and encourages free discourse as to clinical yield best practices and enhanced revenue models.

DAY 1
American Sleep and Breathing Academy Study Club – Day 1 Overview
The first day of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy Study Club offers an exciting opportunity for professionals to deepen their knowledge and expand their network in the field of sleep medicine.
Day 1 typically features a combination of presentations, interactive workshops, and discussions led by experts in the field.
Participants can expect:

Cutting-edge insights into the latest research and innovations in sleep and breathing disorders.
Networking opportunities with physicians, dentists, and specialists who are advancing treatments in this area.
Workshops and hands-on sessions to enhance practical skills and the application of treatment methods, such as sleep apnea solutions and respiratory health.

This day sets the foundation for meaningful dialogue and learning, preparing attendees for a comprehensive experience in sleep medicine throughout the event.

DAY 2
American Sleep and Breathing Academy Study Club – Day 2 Overview
Day 2 of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy Study Club builds on the momentum of Day 1, delving deeper into advanced topics and specialized practices within sleep medicine.
The second day is structured to provide attendees with further education and practical strategies to improve patient outcomes.
Key highlights include:

Advanced Clinical Workshops: Focused sessions that explore the intricacies of sleep diagnostics, treatment modalities, and long-term care strategies for sleep apnea.
Case Studies: Real-world case studies presented by leading practitioners, followed by discussions that allow for an in-depth exploration of treatment challenges and successes.
Collaboration with Industry Leaders: Day 2 offers additional opportunities to engage with industry experts and peers, fostering collaboration and sharing best practices in the sleep and breathing field.

Each presenter at the Study Club presents their personal strategic plan, and shares the key decision points that make or break a new practice. This helps attendees test their understanding of the standard of practice employed by the ASBA Diplomate through open discussion.
Each of the Diplomates have successful robust sleep practices in excess of $1.5M annually, no two are the same, each study club will have minimum of three ASBA presenters. There is a tremendous amount of personalized advice and specific step-by-step instructions to aid the Study Club Member in achieving success with their sleep business.
Training Sleep Apnea Dentistry has become rife with folks overstating their abilities and experience. Selling substandard equipment at inflated prices to an unsuspecting group of clinicians who simply want to treat their patients.
— David Gergen, CDT
This past weekend over half of the attendees had attended more than one vendor sponsored seminar in the last year. As a group, none of the attendees had managed to achieve any traction with sleep apnea dentistry in their practice.
— Eugene Azuma, DDS
ASBA Study Club: More than a series of Seminars, this Academy will help you build your practice using our proven methods.
Seminars are by Dentists who have built sleep practices with annual revenue over $1.5 M. the RIGHT WAY !!!
This study club format is unique, affordable, and designed to give you the tools to preform at the level of the mentors.
Many have left the conference saying that it was the most vital, essential & powerful dental sleep learning event they’ve ever attended!
The benefit of this style of education is that the group is limited to 12 offices. This gives us the opportunity to focus on specific questions and with one on one discussions that can be shaped for every region of the country.
This program is suited for practices starting with sleep apnea treatment and practices that have yet to achieve their potential.
We feature Doctors from a wide range of markets, from 100,000 to 4.5M population, who will share insight with you on they grew their dental sleep practice. Hear accounts from real ASBA members who have been in the same position you were a few years ago!
Learn from their successes at the ASBA study club!
