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 guestcollegial 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 guestapprox. 1–2 hours
A practice and workflow overview with the host.
Half-Day Hospitation
15 Credits per guestapprox. 3–4 hours
Half a day of observation and professional exchange.
Full-Day Hospitation
25 Credits per guesta full clinical day
A full clinical day covering workflows, treatment concepts and team insight.
Advanced Clinical Exchange
40 Credits per guestfocused 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- Declined or withdrawn requests release the reservation immediately.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.
