Part One of this lecture series dives into patient and business challenges we face in our profession. This course is pre-COVID, but it is still essential today to understand why change is necessary and how the era of PPO-dominated dentistry is likely to change.

 

  • How bimonthly meetings help us work together as a team
  • The substantial change in the new norm of dentistry during the pandemic
  • Why PPOs are not our friend and how the COVID-19 crisis will affect the length of procedures and thus costs and overhead
  • Membership programs like Amazon Prime are the business patterns of today, and how they apply to creating your in-office dental plan
  • How to decrease your PPO dependence
