In addition to clinical excellence, the Perico Group was established with the fundamental principle that continued education and professional growth are instrumental to the best practice of dentistry.
Founders Dr. Kramer and Dr. Nevins were advocates of the advancement of education and participated in the elevation of dentistry by inviting fellow dentists from around the globe to observe and learn new techniques and technologies at Perico. As the practice grew, the local dental community sought a more formal education. The Perico Study Club for Advanced Dentistry was designed to provide solo practitioners with a lecture-style education and social interaction with other dentists. Referring dentists embraced the program and it was successful for many years.
In early 2010, Perico began to promote a small group collaborative learning model. With the introduction of the Mini-Residency Program (MRP) and Advance Collaborative Learning (ACL,) the Perico Group launched the next generation of continuing education. Two years later, Perico partnered with SpearEducation.com to provide a new study club experience. The dental community welcomed the interdisciplinary, treatment-planning based programs. 94 referring dentists have graduated from the MRP and ACL programs and the Perico/Spear Study Club partnership boasts 13 clubs and over 140 local doctor members.
Annually, the Perico Group develops new and innovative educational programs ranging from large, single-day events for 100-150 attendees to small, technique-focused surgical sessions. Recently, we expanded our offerings to include Hygiene and Administrative Study Clubs. These quarterly clubs host attendance by team members of referring practices and allows Perico to further support and strengthen those practices. Recently, The Perico Group received ADG Pace Certification so that we can provide Continuing Education Credits for our own courses and allow for even more opportunities in the future. The Perico Group takes pride in providing dentists the highest available educational resources while honoring the foundation of growth and development on which the practice was established.
