Credit Details
This electronically delivered self-instructional program is designated for 1.5 hours of CE credit by Farran Media.
Synopsis:
In spite of our best efforts to educate patients about the need for dental care, many patients delay and avoid treatment that we know can help them. We struggle to understand what gets in their way, and how to motivate them to take action. We sometimes get tired of being seen as the person with the bad news, rather than someone who is there to help them. Description of Speaker:

She brings to her work enthusiasm, intelligence, humor, and a deep belief in the potential for significant growth through authentic communication. She is known internationally as a consultant, writer, and producer of newsletters and audio programs for Mary H. Osborne, Resources in Seattle, Washington. Her writing is published in national magazines and she has spoken extensively to state and national organizations. Mary is a member of the visiting faculty and serves as a Foundation Advisor to the Pankey Institute.
