10-WEEK COHORT COURSE

Spend 10 weeks with me inside the OPSM Framework Certification! I won't give you a plaque, but you will...
Learn how oral inflammation is mechanistically linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, early cognitive decline, and other systemic conditions — and how to use that evidence inside a real appointment, not just as background knowledge.
Through the Script Vault, students get word-for-word language for introducing systemic risk, presenting salivary diagnostics, and handling patient pushback — communication skills that build trust and change long-term outcomes.
Through Calibration Cases, students practice decision-making in scenarios that mirror their actual schedule — building the diagnostic fluency to integrate inflammatory biomarkers and case complexity consistently, not just on easy days.
PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS
One hygienist can change a patient's life. An entire practice can change a community's. Enroll at the level that's right for you — with team pricing that rewards you for bringing others along.
You're ready to lead. You don't need permission — just the system. This one's for the RDH who's done waiting for her practice to catch up.
Better together. Whether it's you and your dentist or your whole hygiene team, a shared standard changes everything. Split the cost. Multiply the impact.
When the whole practice speaks the same clinical language, patients feel it. Best value, biggest shift. Let's build the standard together.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Melissa Obrotka, BA, RDH
I've been at the chair for 27 years -- and still there every week, in a periodontal and prosthodontic specialty practice. Every protocol in the OPSM Framework was build and tested in a real appointment, on a real schedule, with real patients.
This is where I teach it to you, one step at a time, with live calls each week to help apply what you're learning.
STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
Brace yourself. These are pretty good.

NO STUPID QUESTIONS
The OPSM Framework runs Monday through Thursday with daily drip content in 15 to 25 minutes per day, less time than your morning scroll. Fridays include a one-hour live group coaching call where science becomes skill, and all calls are recorded so you never fall behind. Ten weeks. Twenty minutes a day. One hour on Fridays.
Friday group coaching calls are held live on Zoom at a time determined by cohort availability. Can't make it live? Submit your questions in advance, and they will be answered on the call as if you were in the room.
Yep! All group calls will be recorded and available inside the course portal within 24 hours.
Course enrollment includes lifetime access to the course and all course content.
The OPSM Framework is a cohort model. Modules are released on a weekly schedule with live calibration sessions. Specific cohort dates are listed at enrollment.
15 AGD/PACE approved CE hours. Documentation is provided upon completion.
Yes. The two-provider enrollment is specifically designed for the RDH and dentist to complete together so the clinical standard is shared across the practice.
The OPSM Framework™ is a digital education program and, as such, all sales are final once the course period begins. Because content is delivered and accessible from day one, no refunds will be issued after the cohort start date.
