Discover a University Without Walls

In dental school, you had a roadmap...

Professors to guide you, peers to learn with, and a clear path forward. But private practice? That's where the real learning begins. Every day brings new challenges: complex cases that keep you up at night, staff dynamics that test your leadership, and technological advances that transform how you work. You're growing, adapting, and sometimes wondering if others face the same hurdles.

Enter Seattle Study Club - where the classroom has no walls and learning knows no limits.

We've created something different: a community where dental professionals can be both teachers and students, where world-class education meets real-world application, and where every challenge becomes an opportunity for growth. Here, you'll find the support system you need to tackle any challenge, the expertise to elevate your skills, and the colleagues who become trusted friends.

The Pursuit of Excellence Never Ends

The martlet in our logo tells a powerful story. This mythical bird, depicted without feet, symbolizes perpetual flight and constant motion. Like our community, it represents the continuous journey of learning, growing, and pushing boundaries in dentistry.

30+ Years of World-Class Dental Education

Founded in 1992 by Dr. Michael Cohen, Seattle Study Club has grown from a single local group to a global network of dental professionals. Our unique approach combines hands-on learning, case study discussions, and access to world-renowned speakers, creating a dynamic environment where members can enhance their skills and expand their professional network.

Discover the Difference

“Nobody really can do some of these difficult cases by themselves. We have different people that are experts in certain fields that can collaborate with each other and complete these cases."

Dr. Sakamoto

"This is an immense help to your professional life and your camaraderie with other dentists."

Dr. Pamela MacPherson

“You get to meet other clinicians who are top-notch at some of the newer techniques, and so it pushes me to stay up-to-date."

Dr. R. Douglas Campbell
Seattle Study Club Member

“We wanted to start a club where dentists could talk to each other, make contact with other specialists, and not be afraid to say 'I don't know how to do this.'"

Dr. Tim Smith
