Pankey Scholar

The Pankey Scholar Program

The Pankey Scholar program is intended for those who desire to continue their self-development by demonstrating the level they have achieved in philosophical understanding and application; behavioral relations with patients, staff, and others; clinical competency; and practice financial management.

Completion of the program will not credit you with a degree utilized by other academic institutions, but your mature attitude and commitment will register with those associated with The Pankey Institute, who understand the value of this self-expression.

In two sessions, you will be asked to demonstrate your understanding of your practice financial situation and prudent managerial decision-making. Staff issues and application of philosophical principles will be revealed through group discussions. You also will have the opportunity to display a portfolio of your excellent dentistry to the Scholar Panel. The second session will follow the first by nine months, to allow time for participants to complete individualized growth assignments based on the discovery of the first session.

Each session is limited to six participants. Fluent understanding of the principles of comprehensive patient care, occlusion, interdisciplinary care and restorative dentistry, as taught at The Pankey Institute, will be afforded each participant. Participants will also receive the opportunity to demonstrate excellent intra-oral photography (slide or digital) and case documentation.

Prerequisites:

Completion of the most senior level courses and conference with the Education Department about your interest in the Pankey Scholar program
Licensed dentist in good standing
Written vision and mission statements
Written position papers with all specialists and lab technicians you utilize
Documented portfolio of comprehensively treated patients
