2317: The Evolution of CSI and What’s Next in Surgical Education
On today’s episode, Dr. Mark Costes catches up with Dr. Taher Dhoon, co-founder of the Colorado Surgical Institute (CSI), to talk about all things surgery, education, and giving back. They dive into CSI’s explosive growth over 2025, including their largest-ever course with over 130 attendees, and highlight the wide variety of hands-on training opportunities CSI now offers—from single implants and wisdom teeth to full-arch, veneer, frenectomy, and IV sedation courses.
Dr. Dhoon also shares exciting plans for a live-patient cosmetic course and the launch of CSI’s first Brazil-based zygoma and pterygoid training. Plus, the duo discusses Arches Across America, a national initiative to provide free full-arch treatment to underserved patients, and the powerful impact of volunteering. Whether you're a surgical pro or new to complex cases, there's something for every clinician in this jam-packed update.
