In Germany, at least for Dentists, it is exactly like this. Many training events are, in fact, hardly any different from sales events.

I am curious. Is dentistry considered poor in Germany? Or when compared to other similarly wealthy, highly-developed nations?

flew to Tenerife in 2019 and took a ferry to La Gomera, wasn't big deal to do so. Then just rent a car and travel around the island by yourself. Fortunately, I was able to experience the language myself when I hiked to Mirador de Abrante. The old dock for banana ships (or at least what's left of it) is also well worth seeing (Pescante de Hermigua). I could talk for hours about my stay there, an incredibly beautiful place.
