Dental education is evolving rapidly, and the Pacific Aesthetic Continuum (PAC) is leading the way with innovative approaches tailored to today's dental practitioners. Dr. Michael Miyasaki and Garrett Caldwell, CEO of PAC and Corr Dental Laboratory, reveal how they've transformed their renowned live patient training program to meet the needs of modern dentists who often can't easily take time away from practice.
The cornerstone of this transformation is an affordable tuition model that creates a win-win scenario - patients receive extraordinary value on comprehensive aesthetic treatment while doctors gain invaluable hands-on experience with complex cases. This approach has proven wildly successful as the PAC rebuilds momentum following the pandemic pause, with course participants actively recruiting colleagues for future sessions.
"When doctors complete our program, they never see dentistry the same way again," explains Dr. Miyasaki. "They stop seeing individual teeth and start seeing comprehensive possibilities." This shift in perspective represents the fundamental value of PAC education - teaching dentists to deliver beautiful, functional restorations that address the entire stomatognathic system rather than isolated teeth.
The PAC is expanding geographically with courses in Sacramento, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Chicago, while simultaneously developing what Caldwell describes as "disruptive" online education unlike typical webinars. This innovative approach aims to create an educational pathway that meets dentists where they are, removing barriers to advanced training while maintaining the hands-on experience essential for mastering comprehensive aesthetic dentistry.
Whether you're looking to elevate your practice with comprehensive aesthetic techniques or seeking affordable continuing education that fits your schedule, the PAC offers a unique educational journey that transforms not just how you practice, but how you see dentistry itself.
