To find out more about your needs in terms of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and professional support, the ACDQ invites you to complete this short survey (less than 10 minutes).

Your answers, which are completely anonymous, will enable us to identify our members’ interest in and needs for professional support services such as mentoring, coaching, study circles, and sponsorship.

Your opinion is essential to our ability to offer you useful programs adapted to your reality.

Definitions

For ease of understanding, here is a brief description of the different forms of support that will be discussed in this survey:

• Study circle (or support group): regular meetings between peers to encourage knowledge sharing and discussions on common topics (management, clinical cases, etc.). Rather informal approach, as and when required.

• Coaching on request: custom coaching offered for specific challenges to improve certain skills with exercises and follow-up (management, communication, balance, etc.). Short- to medium-term support.

• Sponsorship/mentorship program: planned pairing and regular meetings between an experienced dentist and an early-career dentist aimed at knowledge transfer and skills development. Medium-term support.
