Testimonials

"This was an amazing journey of learning from experts and experienced classmates. I wish this was available 15 or 20 years ago, but all good things happen when their time is due. The next class is in for an even better experience as, undoubtedly, the faculty will grow this program!"

Christopher Blair

Palermo Village Dental, Owner

"This was such a wonderful experience learning alongside my fellow dental colleagues across Canada. Thank you to the industry experts for sharing your knowledge with us. I feel privileged to have been part of the inaugural class at Schulich ExecEd."

Suzanne Baptista

Dr. Suzanne Baptista Dentistry, Owner

"During the program, I was running two dental offices, and I couldnt decide how I should proceed. I sent a message to one of my Instructors and said I think I made a mistake. Right away, he emailed me back. He said, Celebrate your mistakes. Wow. I know it sounds cliche, but it really worked for me. I did make some mistakes along the way, in strategy or planning but thats life, were human. So thats okay. Make mistakes, and learn from them."

Dr. Reza Naser Hojjati
