Treatment Presentation Skills Course
We had a small turnout for the course on treatment presentation skills and personality typing, yet the attendees were treated to some practical skills that will improve their communication with their patients. Dr. Don Thomas (President-Elect of the Florida AGD) started the meeting with a brief update of what is happening at the state level in dentistry and why it matters to local dentists. He reminded us that the AGD is the ONLY dental organization that represents the general dentist and that we need to improve our membership statistics by encouraging our neighboring dentists to join the AGD.
Linda Drevenstedt, of Drevenstedt Consulting (St. Augustine, FL) gave a presentation on the use of DISC personality profiling in the dental office. Her practical approach left us all ready to return to our offices and use our new-found skills. We are thankful to Linda for her willingness to donate her time to lecture to our group! It was not difficult to see why she is a successful practice management consultant!
Dr. Michael Kelly followed with a presentation on co-diagnostic treatment presentation with an emphasis on the use of digital photography. If you would like a copy of this presentation, please email mtkellydmd@agd.org.
We hope to see you at our next event in the spring of 2010!
