Dr. Chal's Continuing Education
Dr. Chal attends an extraordinary number of continuing education courses to
keep abreast of all the latest developments in dentistry and to continue
refining his skills. He takes over 100 hours of courses each year,
which, if he were to do that in one stretch, would amount to about a month
out of the year, every year. For comparison, most state dental boards
require 15 to 20 hours of continuing education courses per year. Here is a
listing of what he has done recently:
