Supercharging your Dental Career: From early stage to high growth... and beyond
Your dental career is filled with many important decisions. Should you own a practice or just earn a strong income as an associate? If you want to be the boss, should you buy or start from scratch? Would you like to own multiple practices? Do you dream of being a speaker, mastering an aspect of dentistry, and educating your colleagues? If you own a practice, how do you give it a boost when it stalls?
Dentists are quite fortunate to be able to take their careers down multiple potential paths, but that means we are faced with the tough question: when is the right time for the next step?
Objectives:
(1) Interpret data on the dental profession's current economic landscape, and what it means for you.
(2) Use a framework for building your unique business model, however you choose to practice.
(3) Understand the pros and cons of associateship versus ownership, start-up versus purchase, and small versus group practice.
(4) Navigate associateships and exploring alternative career pathways.
