What's unique about SST Minimal

What's unique about SST Minimal

Based on scientifically grounded best practices, our minimal sedation course has been prepared by practicing board-certified anesthesiologists and education experts. It teaches the most important considerations for patient safety for your minimal sedation practice in dentistry. The course achieves this through audio-based presentations, key visual content, and adaptive learning assessments.

Adaptive Learning to Retain Knowledge

Our virtual instructors will teach you the highest quality, scientifically rooted content, and ensure your knowledge is retained. SSTminimal uses adaptive learning techniques. We know that true learning doesn't happen over a few hours, but it is a journey.
Our system starts with a baseline knowledge test and uses adaptive learning techniques to ensure you learn and retain the most important material.
Our system will respond to your understanding of the material and periodically provide custom reviews, practical advice, and refresher assessments over time. We also will offer live education webinars, community participation, and other supplemental education opportunities.

Virtual Learning Environments

The learning journey starts in a Virtual Classroom, where you listen to content presented in a podcast-like format by our virtual instructors. Key visuals are provided. The journey continues by listening in on selected cases held in a Virtual Simulation Center. Finally, we assess your learning with interactive assessments.

Accessible on mobile

devices

Learning safe sedation is now more convenient. You can access the course content in your own time, anywhere. With you in charge of your learning, you can pause, rewind, or replay the audio whenever needed.

Intended for New and Experienced Dental Providers

SSTminimal is an online, mobile-device based course and offers 5 CE credits specific to the practice of minimal sedation. Whether you are a new provider or are working towards the renewal of your minimal sedation permit/license, SSSTminimal is a perfect fit.

Earn CE credits

After completing SSTminimal, you may optionally earn 5 Dental CE credits. More information on CE credits here.
