A short YouTube episode (monologue) by Hallie Bulkin arguing that study clubs are essential for myofunctional therapists because they provide peer troubleshooting, multiple opinions, confidence-building, and reduced professional isolation. She promotes the MYO membership features (24/7 mentor access, weekly office hours, monthly case presentations) as an example of a supportive study club that counters gatekeeping in the MYO field.

No matter how much you study on your own or take one off courses, there's always going to be cases that kind of leave you scratching your head. And that's where having a study club becomes gold, because you've got a group of like minded professionals that you can bounce ideas off of. You can troubleshoot any challenges you're having. You can get second, third or fourth opinions. It can really just help you build your competence, which helps in turn make you feel more confident and more supported in your clinical decision making. And so inside the MYO membership, for example, we've got your 247 access to a group of mentors in our community group. You also have weekly office hours where you can come and discuss cases. We present cases on a monthly basis. So there's just like a lot, a lot of support and access, which is so hard because there's so much gatekeeping in the MYO space for some reason.
