Since 2012 the Mountain West Dental Forum has brought world-class continuing education to your doorstep in Northern Colorado. A chapter of the worldwide phenomenon the Seattle Study Club, MWDF is a diverse interdisciplinary study club presenting programs on a wide range of topics.
A True "University Without Walls"
Our philosophy is that neither ideal learning nor ideal dentistry can be attained by a random exposure to various techniques and treatment modalities. We offer our doctors an opportunity to participate in an ongoing, cohesive curriculum including clinical, hands-on, practice management, and personal development themes which enhance the scope and quality of your dental lifestyle.Through peer-based, ongoing learning, camaraderie, and sharing of experiences, we build enthusiasm and passion in dentistry. As a “University without Walls”, Mountain West Dental Forum is an organization like none other. The mission of MWDF is to offer clinicians experiences that exceed their highest expectations of excellence, on the path to achieving their full professional potential in being a “complete clinician”.
