Dentist and Administrator Perspectives: The Value Proposition - Quality, Education, Supervision, Economic Impact
Speaker
David Maki, DDS MBA; Miranda Davis, DDS, MPH; Michael Helgeson, DDS
Moderated by Mark Wolff, DDS, PhD
Course Description
The final webinar of this four part series will explore the “value proposition” offered by dental therapists in three types of practice settings: private, tribal clinic settings, and DSO or similar large scale practice models. The focus will be on expansion of services, community acceptance, practice growth, dentists personally providing more of one type of service and less of another because dental therapists are present, and other categories of practice and personal value achieved with the integration of dental therapists in practice settings.
Educational Objectives
