My opinions on which is the next course that you should do. Hello, Protruserati, I'm Jaz Gulati and welcome back to another episode this one is an Occlusal Adjustment. So basically the whole point of an Occlusal Adjustment is sometimes I have these amazing guests on and I am just captivated by their story. And when they're speaking and I'm listening, you've probably seen it for those of you that catch me on the video episodes is that I've got these facial expressions like I'm in deep thought. And my brain is like absolutely bouncing with so many activities and thoughts. And sometimes I want to ask certain questions or take in a different direction, but then we end up going on a tangent. So what an Occlusal Adjustment is about is an episode where I get to go a little bit deeper and give you my perspectives and my opinions. And that's all it is really. It is very much my opinion. So everything I say on anything that I say on my podcast ever, always take it with a pinch of salt, okay? There's just me and my opinions and my paradigms, which I'm very happy to share with you. But always remember the philosophy of listen to everyone and do what feels right to you. So this is an Occlusal Adjustment for the planning your CPD and burnout episode I did with Emma Courtney, it was just so great to hear her story and how she fought burnout and now she's come back with a vengeance. She's so passionate and purposeful, everything she does, and she's doing a great podcast, herself. Fang farrier should definitely check that one out. Now, what I want to tell you about is my favorite type of learning as a dentist, my favorite way of getting my CPD hours in and something I like to call just in time learning. Okay? So very much the opposite of just in time learning is that, for example, many years ago, I didn't know anything about Crown Lengthening surgery. And so one day I say to myself, Okay, I don't know anything about Crown Lengthening surgery, so therefore, I'm going to open up a textbook, or I'm going to go on a course on Crown Lengthening surgery, okay? That's a very erratic way of learning. And that's a very random way of learning because you can look at your entire knowledge base and skill base and history base. And you can pick out easily lots of areas within dentistry, which you think you have limited knowledge in. The problem is if you willy nilly just go about learning in any direction, without having a goal at the end,
