Pediatric Practice Management for Pediatric Dentists
This two-day seminar will provide you with many tools that you can use immediately in your practice to see higher profits while making your work day easier. 14 CE credits.
Course Summary
Success as a pediatric dentist comes at many different levels and stages of your career. While providing high quality dental care is of the utmost importance, it alone is not enough to be successful. Our dental schools and our pediatric residency programs provide very little in the way of practice management education.
The education that is received is usually textbook and not very applicable to your every day practice. Our institutions do not provide you the skills needed to adapt to various conditions, both personally and economically. Our course on Pediatric Dental Practice Management will provide you with the knowledge, understanding and skills that you need to maximize your profits and minimize your stress. This course is presented by a pediatric dentist engaged in active private practice –the information presented is real and practical and will help increase your success in many areas of your practice and your life.
