Risk Assessment and the Future of Dental Education | Dr. John Kois

How did Dr. John Kois turn a single study club into the Kois Center, and why does he teach dentists to manage risk instead of just treating disease? In this episode, Dr. Kois explains why caries is a disease of the person, not the tooth, how to be a discriminating consumer of continuing education, and where dental CE is heading.

In this episode:

- From Air Force teaching program to 13 study clubs to the Kois Center

- Risk assessment vs treating disease, and why it gives dentists peace of mind

- "I want to know how it got that way": the exam question that raises case acceptance

- How COVID-19 emptied the Kois Center, and the future of virtual and hands-on CE

Plus Dr. Joyce Bassett on digital smile design and scanning, and 2020 dental news: the House vote to repeal McCarran-Ferguson, the FDA on amalgam and titanium, and HHS relief funds.

Dr. John Kois founded the Kois Center. He received his DMD from the University of Pennsylvania and a certificate in periodontal prosthodontics with an MSD from the University of Washington, where he is an affiliate professor in the graduate restorative program. He maintains a private practice limited to prosthodontics in Tacoma and Seattle.
