A Weekend Retreat Plus Orthodontic CE?
(yes, please).
Join us May 22-24 for a weekend orthodontic retreat with Dr. Williams.
Orthodontics and the Ocean
If you love orthodontics so much that you’d love to get together with a small group of like-minded doctors to explore advanced concepts and discuss unique cases, this Orthodontics Weekend Island Retreat is for you.
Spend part of your day in course attendance and part soaking in the beautiful Florida sunshine as you enjoy mentorship and networking in the great outdoors.
*This course is only open to AOS members. Space is very limited so the course will be closed when we reach capacity.
Part retreat, part orthodontics course, part mastermind.
The AOS Orthodontic Retreat is unlike any other course the AOS offers. It will be held in an oceanfront beach home in an intimate setting. Amenities include:
An executive chef
A morning yoga class
A wading pool and hot tub
A game room
Outdoor dining and BBQ area
A boardwalk and beach access
