Keys to success? Zoom with a dentist and find out
What is a zipper clause?
How do I size up a prospective employer?
What are the workplace rights for the dental team?
How do I create a budget and make it work for me?
What are some of the ethical issues you can face as a new dentist?
How has the median income and demographics of dentistry changed in recent years?
What resources are at my disposal when it comes to COVID-19 and treating patients?
These questions and countless others can be answered with the ADA Success Program, which is now virtual.
I am an ADA Success speaker, one of more than 40 dentists who make this commitment to bring relevant information and resources, along with our personal stories, to dental students. I remember that most of my dental education focused on clinical skills, but there is so much more to know if you want to succeed. Each ADA Success module is one-hour long, and topics include:
- Finding a Job
- Managing Debt & Wealth
- Leadership & Ethics in Dentistry
- Organized Dentistry: You and the ADA
- Practice Management for All Dentists
- State of the Dental Profession
- Understanding Employment Agreements (presented by attorneys)
The ADA Success Program modules are free for your dental school or ASDA chapter. Choose one or all seven. Learn more and schedule a program today at ADA.org/SuccessPrograms.
Hope to see you at ADA Success!
