Our Core Philosophy
At the Dental Institute for Continuing Education (DICE), we believe that true learning happens when education is free from outside influence. From the beginning, our founder, Dr. Chris Walinski, a respected dental educator and visionary with over 25 years of teaching experience, set a clear standard: education must remain independent, evidence-based, and unbiased.
One of the core goals of DICE is to design continuing education courses that truly meet the needs of today’s young dentists, especially those who graduated within the past decade. We recognize that the first 10 years in practice are a critical time for skill-building and career direction. That’s why our programs go beyond traditional lectures, focusing instead on real-world training, emerging technologies and the kinds of clinical and business knowledge that new dentists don't get enough of in dental school.
Our philosophy is simple yet powerful: to empower dental professionals with authentic, experience-driven knowledge they can trust, delivered by experts who share DICE’s commitment to clinical excellence, integrity and lifelong learning.
Our Mission
The mission of the Dental Institute for Continuing Education is to advance the knowledge and skills of dental practitioners. We focus on high-quality, evidence-based and common sense educational programs that promote lifelong learning in dentistry.
AGD PACE Certification
All of our courses are recognized through the Academy of General Dentistry’s PACE (Program Approval for Continuing Education) program. This means every participant will receive AGD PACE certification upon successful completion of their course.
This certification ensures that our educational content meets the highest national standards for quality, scientific integrity, and educational value.
Where to Stay
We recommend staying at The INN at Villanova, which is the home venue for DICE events. However, we are only 30 minutes from Philadelphia, so we certainly understand if you would rather make that your home base while you're here!
