For this past decade, James E. Metz, DDS, has been the driving force behind a continuum of dynamic sleep dentistry educational opportunities with the goal to bring Dentistry and Medicine together to treat the overwhelming number of individuals that suffer from sleep disorders.

"I can't thank you enough. Honestly, you can tell when someone is really passionate about what they do and it makes a huge difference. I can tell  that you [work to] make a difference in your field. Thank you for everything and I look forward to the October 2017 [Ten Year Consensus] and 2018."
Quote from colleague following Dr. Metz' presentation

Dr. Metz' efforts have culminated in the coordination of this rare opportunity to learn from world renown doctors whose depth of knowledge and experience is beyond exceptional. It has taken a decade to cultivate the resources to bring together these three professionals from every discipline of sleep medicine - and YOU are invited to participate and contribute in shaping the future of sleep medicine - side by side with them!

As dedicated professionals, we must ask ourselves:
Where was sleep medicine a decade ago?
As a profession, where are we now in 2017?
Where shall the future of effective sleep medicine go?

Featured Speakers will include:

Session Three of our extended and intensive Competency Study Series was a dynamic weekend.  Exclusive access to our case studies provided the group with the opportunity to review unfiltered material and promoted interesting out-of-the-box thinking. These open discussions provided the attendees with valuable information on methods of treatment that could be immediately incorporated into their practices. View more photos!

"The Competency Program is a truly unique educational opportunity. Not only do the participants get to be a part of the Step Up Courses, but they join in a small group setting of learning. Basic science, clinical practice, literature, practice management and hands-on training with the appliances involved are all part of the process. The small group allows for an easy dialogue and exchange of ideas, and individual cases and questions often drive the direction of the discussion.

Dr. Metz is cultivating the next group of leaders in the field of Dental Sleep Medicine with the Metz Center's process. These doctors will not only be able to confidently treat their obstructive sleep apnea and TMD patients, but also interact with other physicians and care providers on the patient's multidisciplinary team as a peer. This opportunity is not to be passed up!"
