Level 4

The future dentists select a practice location, review transition-to-practice issues, and refine the dental office strategic planning steps completed at previous levels.

Building the business plan

Refining competence rarely held by new dentists

Why a business plan?

Writing a business plan for starting or acquiring a practice refines the understanding of each aspect of delivering dental services. This competence is valuable to graduates in pursuing any career path. Guided professional reporting provides exposure to the real-world demands for professional communication.

Too much too soon?

The business plan concluding assignment is supported by online calculators, guidance balloons and program-aided computations. Students experience advanced planning and business thinking without being required to be mathematicians and accountants. The experience generates confidence and success when addressing the challenges of a dental career.
