Professional Exchange

A clear structure for visiting a colleague.

Hosts publish the formats they offer. Guests request one, propose dates, and the two of you agree. Credits move only when the exchange is confirmed and completed.

Free Professional Exchange

0 Credits per guest

collegial conversation or short visit

A collegial exchange without credits — a conversation, a coffee or a short look around the practice.

Practice Visit

8 Credits per guest

approx. 1–2 hours

A practice and workflow overview with the host.

Half-Day Hospitation

15 Credits per guest

approx. 3–4 hours

Half a day of observation and professional exchange.

Full-Day Hospitation

25 Credits per guest

a full clinical day

A full clinical day covering workflows, treatment concepts and team insight.

Advanced Clinical Exchange

40 Credits per guest

focused one-to-one session

Peer-to-peer one-to-one exchange around specific expertise, workflows or cases. The guest never treats patients: observation plus diagnostic discussion, planning and digital setup only, as the host permits. Not an accredited course. DentGather provides no participant insurance; host and guest are responsible for applicable local insurance, professional, patient and privacy requirements.

Requests and dates

  • Hosts never maintain an availability calendar. Dates are arranged individually.
  • Guests choose a format, a preferred date, an alternative date, a topic and a party size.
  • Hosts can accept, suggest another date, or decline.
  • Paid requests reserve the credits the moment they are sent; a Free Professional Exchange reserves nothing.
  • Declined or withdrawn requests release the reservation immediately. A confirmed exchange always has a concrete date and time.

Cancellation, completion and disputes

  • Guest cancels more than 72h before: 100% returned to the guest.
  • Guest cancels between 72h and 24h before: 50/50 split (an odd credit stays with the guest).
  • Guest cancels under 24h before: 100% to the host.
  • Host cancels: 100% returned to the guest.
  • Guest no-show: the host reports it and the guest has 48h to object. Without objection the credits go to the host; with an objection they are frozen for review.
  • After the scheduled end both sides confirm. Without a dispute, the exchange auto-completes 49h later.
  • Disputes can be opened within 48h. Credits stay reserved until an admin resolves them to the host, the guest, or as a split.

Patient data

Never upload or share identifiable patient information on DentGather. Case exchange is professional and anonymised discussion only.

Professional exchange formats are peer-to-peer professional experiences. They are not accredited courses, do not grant clinical authorisation and do not replace formal training.
