 Introduction
The American Dental Association (ADA) enjoys a working relationship with the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University in producing a number of programs. Again for 2008, ADA and Kellogg are offering a special program for dentists—the ADA/Kellogg Executive Management Program.
The program is designed for dentists who want to learn more about management from the nation's top-rated management school. This is not a practice management course. Instead, the curriculum draws from the core content areas for Kellogg MBA students, including: business strategy, organizational leadership, marketing, finance, accounting, economics, quantitative methods, and information systems. Classes will be held at Kellogg's Chicago campus, just down the street from the ADA. All classes are taught by Kellogg professors. Participants receive a Kellogg certificate and continuing education credit from the ADA.

"The class has helped in many ways. In my dental practice, it has helped with payroll, marketing, and analyzing the value of buying assets. It has helped in other ways too. The class is a very good value, I wish I had it earlier in my career. "
Dr. John Regis
2007 Class Graduate
"I believe it is a tremendous contribution by the ADA that allows dentists to attempt to understand the business and marketing world, and be able to relate it to their dental practices."
Dr. Jeffrey S. Schmidt
2006 Class Graduate |

Who Should Attend?
Are you a dentist who:
- owns a large dental practice?
- owns, or is seeking to buy, a non-dental
business—perhaps
a franchise?
- serves on a board for a non-profit or investor-owned
corporation?
- provides leadership in the dental insurance field,
dental manufacturing or consumer goods, education, government,
research or the military?
- is contemplating a career change?
- is seeking some top-quality management
education?
If so, then this program may be for you! The program features advanced
business subjects, as opposed to dental practice management. Topics include management strategy, organizational behavior, leadership, marketing,
economics, finance, accounting, information systems and quantitative
methods for management. The curriculum is based on core courses taken
by Kellogg MBA students.
