Run Your Practice Like A Business, Think Like A CEO - 3/25/2014 to 3/24/2015
Event Type: CE Course
Location:
Home or Office Study
Any Where, N/A, USA V0N2W0
This is ABMD's flagship online CE course.
 
This course is designed to help dentists recognize the powerful information held in their financial statements for the purpose of managing this value, within their practices, until they are ready to sell towards an optimum sale price somewhere down the road. Probably, the most overlooked opportunity in dentistry is the management of a dental practice. I'm not referring to patient care; that goes without saying. What I'm referring to is the singular opportunity to accumulate a major sum of money through financial management and through the optimization of the practice sale-price-value.

 

It teaches dentists how to mine the management and valuation information found in their own year-end financial statements and to optimize their return on one of their greatest assets - their practice!

 

Haven't you every wondered if your own financial statements were useful for more than just taxes? Now, you don't have to.

 

By using the outlook of business in the management of the operations, investing and use of debt activities of the practice, the dentist learns how much their practice is worth it terms of its return on investment (ROI) and how much their future is worth, if they keep the status quo. 

 

The course teaches dentists the methods to determine their own financial viability and the impact of their business decisions. The course is about taking control, having a plan and reducing the over all stress of operating a practice.  Whatever the dentist's individual goals are, they will benefit ƒrom the new vision to be found ƒrom financial statement analysis.

 

Dentists, for the first time, will be able to see the whole playing field of their professional careers as they measure, track and graph their progress along their own career time-lines using this new paradigm in practice management, the macro perspective.
 
This course is an advanced course but does not require any previous financial knowledge.

Geriatric Dentistry, Series 1 - 12/12/2013 to 12/12/2014
Event Type: CE Course
Location:

N/A, N/A, USA N/A

With the rapid aging of the population, oral health care providers will be seeing more older adults in their practice than ever before. It is estimated that the population aged 65 years and over will nearly double between 2005 and 2030, resulting in 20% of the population being 65 years and older in 2030. 1 in 5! As people live longer, they are retaining their teeth, thus, predisposing themselves to increased risks for caries and periodontal diseases.

While the growing population of older adults remains healthy and active, the future elderly will demand quality care in their later years. In order to best provide optimal care for older adults, oral health professionals need to be aware of a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, the impact of age-related physical changes, environmental/office design, cognitive impairments and strategies to manage these situations. Practitioners need to be aware of ways to ensure that their practice provides a safe, appropriate and comfortable care to their older patients.

Testimonials

“Hands on, great advice and instruction. Loved the hands-on patient interaction." (Dr. Paul Huey, LaCrosse, WI)

"It was extremely beneficial to evaluate patient's existing dentures and to have systematic approach to diagnosing problems. This has changed my outlook on dentures and changed my practice. It was helpful to look at multiple patients as a large group." (Dr. Elisabeth Dommer, LaCrosse, WI)

“I would recommend this course to other dentists who are frustrated with dentures and the unsatisfied patients who have them.”

“This is the best hands-on course I have ever attended. Extremely knowledgeable instructors who were willing to share everything they know.”

“Very good teacher—Dr. Schulte does a good job of stressing the important points and also telling us the areas that do not have much impact on the bottom line.”
