Study Club Overview
What is the AOS Study Club?
The AOS Study Club is a quarterly virtual session designed for doctors who want to keep growing — without adding another trip to the calendar. Each 90-minute session focuses on one clinical topic that matters to GPs or Pediatric Dentists offering orthodontic treatment. You'll get a focused presentation from an AOS selected expert followed by 30 minutes of open discussion.
