April Showers Brought Two CE Events for RCT Endo

May 11, 2023

As part of their ongoing referral appreciation programs, RCT Endo shows that sharing is caring.

In this case, we collaborated with RCT Endo to share some exciting educational in-person events. The first was a resounding success and was taught by RCT Endo’s own Dr. Ammar Awadi.

In case you missed it, we’ll share a quick recap, followed by a preview and registration details to help you sign up for the next one!

But first…

Meet Dr. Ammar Awadi

After earning his undergraduate degree from Baghdad University, Dr. Awadi completed his DMD and Endodontic residency at Boston University. A member of the MDS and AAE associations, Dr. Awadi practiced general dentistry in Boston for seven years before practicing endodontics.

When he isn’t providing exceptional endodontic care to his patients, Dr. Awadi enjoys watching sports – soccer in particular – and spending time with friends and family. Always on the move, Dr. Awadi also likes biking and walking, and – fun fact! -he hopes to one day have traveled to all seven continents.

Dr. Awadi Teaches Advances in Endodontics

On April 13th, Dr. Awadi offered a 2-credit CE course on Advances in Endodontics, hosted at the Copper Canyon Grill. During his presentation, attendees learned how new advances in endodontics, including CBCT, imaging, instruments, and irrigation techniques are changing the game!

Attendees enjoyed dinner, drinks, and dessert during the presentation, and had the chance to enter a raffle. Everyone walked away with more endodontic knowledge, 2-credits to back it up, and even a gift bag!

What are referrals saying about the event?

We believe in honest feedback about all of our events, which is why we shared a survey with attendees, asking them what they liked or could improve about Dr. Awadi’s presentation.

Here are a few highlights…

“Interesting information on root fracture healing and a good reminder to use additional measures to adequately irrigate canals!”

“The meeting and presentation were well organized, as were all communications regarding the event. Not surprised!”

“Short and sweet. Very informative.”

Next Up: Cybersecurity takes center stage!

On April 27th we hosted a healthcare cybersecurity 2 credit CE Course, with industry expert, Black Talon Security. Thank you to Jason West at Henry Schein for hosting our event at their Columbia office.

Who is Black Talon Security?

Black Talon is a cybersecurity company focused on protecting dentists and specialists from cybersecurity incidents through education and training. Information on their services can be found at www.blacktalonsecurity.com.

As stated by the FBI, ransomware causes over $1 billion in damages – every year.

Hackers and cybercriminals are turning their attention to healthcare practices. Why? Because you’ve got all of the patients’ data and insurance information, which can make you an easy target!

Attendees learned how to protect their practices from these criminals and ransomware.

Check out what Bart Silverman, DMD, and other dental professionals, had to say about their experiences with Black Talon Security as featured on Black Talon Security’s testimonial page:

“This letter is in reference to my experience with Black Talon Security. Black Talon Security engaged me six months ago regarding cyber security for my practice. Even though I was told by my IT company that we were very secure, BTS was able to find some significant deficiencies in my network that would have left me vulnerable to a multitude of attacks.

Throughout this process, they have been extremely professional and attentive to my concerns. I feel that all my colleagues need to take a serious look at security enhancements in order to properly protect their electronic patient health information. With the significant costs and hardships associated with a breach, my feeling is that this is no longer something that we should be considering, it is a must-have. I unequivocally recommend BTS to my colleagues.”

We are super excited to learn more about cybersecurity for our practice and invite you to do the same for yours! Don’t miss this exciting opportunity.
