What Is a Virtual Dental Residency?

Written by RipeGlobal | May 23, 2023 10:30:00 PM

Virtual Dental Residencies are curated programs for dental learners. These programs last from six months to two years. A 2-year Virtual Dental Residency through RipeGlobal is a deep-dive learning experience that will fast-track your dental career. For 24 months, participants receive continuous mentoring and support as they complete their learning designed to increase production, case acceptance, and treatment plans. By putting in this work, learners will gain 100% confidence in their outcomes.

 

The Virtual Dental Residency Experience

Immersive Learning

RipeGlobal's Simulation Lab Kit (Sim Kit) and platform combine to enable deep learning in a supportive environment that celebrates learning from mistakes early on. The latest technology allows you to practice procedures and techniques on a life-like model combined with cloud-based technology for a learning experience like no other. You can then practice and apply learning directly to your patients with hands-on learning opportunities straight from your chair. There are different residency learning pathways that cover the following dental disciplines:

Each residency can help you expand your knowledge and abilities by breaking down learning into simulated learning packages organized by specific programs. For example, the 2-year Restorative Virtual Dental Residency includes the Posterior Package. Within the Posterior Package is the first program, “Prep a Quality Crown in 20 Minutes.” This program offers simulated crown prep practice and demonstrations using the latest dental technology for an accelerated learning rate. Successful program completion maximizes productivity and minimizes patient discomfort. 

Community

Learn from mentor dentists and practice where you’re going to work without feeling alone. You won’t have to shut down your chair to learn new skills and collaborate with other learners. The cloud becomes the campus and your clinic becomes the classroom. When a dentist joins a residency, they join a supportive community backed by mentor dentists and other professionals who have been in their shoes. They know and understand the need for honing psychomotor skills and social skills at the same time. 

As you work through your dental learning packages, you’ll participate in a collaborative environment that lets you learn from and work alongside dentists from around the world. You’ll share knowledge and hear about the experiences of others for a learning journey like no other.

Resources for Dentists and Guaranteed Results

Resources and tools can be used to help you reach your learning goals faster. The AI-powered Clinician Development Tool from RipeGlobal can show you where you’re at and how to get to where you want to go in your dental career as quickly as possible. You’ll also have access to virtual exercises, homework, bootcamp(s), and self-paced theory.
