Practice Development Series
Development, Due Diligence & Coaching
Type: Mentorship I Lecture | Hands On
Date: TBD
Credits: 48 CE
INTRODUCTION
Historically dental schools have focused on dental education and practice development is either minimal or ill-timed for most students with no experience. Practicing dentists of all ages learn by experience and this process often leads to less than desirable results when it comes to practice satisfaction and financial success. As an alternative to in-office practice coaching, this program provides a condensed and cost-effective alternative.
Goal:
This new program is designed for dentist’s, in all stages of their careers, to improve upon key practice issues that stifle optimal growth and satisfaction.
Course Director: Scott Clifton Stewart President, Clifton & Associates, Inc.
Scott has worked with hundreds of dental practices since 1991 developing business plans, coaching and training dental teams, developing leadership skills, enhancing communication skills, training teams on customer service techniques, and successfully helping practices grow to new levels of productivity and profitability.
