Paragon hosts Local Study Clubs throughout the country to give Paragon clients an ongoing way to connect with, and learn from, other successful doctors in their own area. Where events like Excelleration Meetings and the Success Network happen a handful of times a year, Local Study Clubs are built to be the steady, recurring touchpoint in between, close to home and easy to attend consistently.

What Is a Local Study Club?

A Local Study Club is a small-group meeting led by a Paragon Consultant, made up of Paragon clients from your own region. Groups meet monthly, every other month, or quarterly, depending on the group, giving you a regular rhythm of accountability and peer conversation that doesn’t require travel to a regional or national event.

Because these meetings are small and guided by a Consultant, they offer a level of confidentiality and focus that’s hard to get in a larger setting. Doctors use the time to discuss what’s actually working (and what isn’t) in their own practices, compare notes with peers facing similar challenges, and get input in a setting built specifically for that kind of honest conversation.

How Local Study Clubs Fit Into the Paragon Events Calendar

If you think of Excelleration Meetings as “here’s what I need to change in my practice,” and the Success Network as “here’s what other successful doctors are doing, and who can I learn from,” Local Study Clubs sit somewhere in between, but closer to home and far more frequent. A Local Study Club gives you a smaller, more intimate version of that same peer learning, on a schedule that fits into your regular routine rather than requiring a trip to a regional or destination event.

That regularity is the point. A single Excelleration Meeting or Success Network retreat can spark a lot of ideas, but a Local Study Club is where those ideas get revisited, tested, and refined meeting after meeting, with the same group of doctors who already know your practice and your goals.

What to Expect at a Meeting

Local Study Club meetings are intentionally small and guided, not large lecture-style events. Your Paragon Consultant leads the discussion, keeping the group focused and confidential so doctors feel comfortable speaking candidly about real numbers, real decisions, and real challenges. Expect a working session among peers, not a passive presentation.
