Group Dentistry Now Show: The Voice of the DSO Industry · Transforming Associate Development and Retention Through Structured Education · 11 Jul 2026 podcast

And the associates that are most satisfied that have the highest retention rates are working within DSOs that have figured that component out, that that associate development is

is no longer a perk it's really a prerequisite it should be ingrained infrastructure within your organization to be able to support that transition and facilitate and fill that gap that we now see between university between dental school and the challenges of private practice so the dso or a group practice doesn't address this

Yeah, and Bill, we're seeing statistics that support that.

A staggering stats and a figure is 30% of associates in 2025 left their DSO position.

So that turnover is significant.

I think what we're seeing right now is that mentorship, that clinical development, being a partner in their career growth, as I mentioned before, it's no longer a perk.

it is an expectation of early career dentists.

So if they're not feeling supported, if they don't have the educational curriculum and the mentorship to become more proficient at their craft, to become more profitable with their craft,

what we're going to start to see is they become disenfranchised.

So confidence starts to lack, engagement starts to drop off, and that's when we start to see that risk of turnover.

So if we're not supporting those associates on their career path, matching their expectations, developing not only their clinical skill set, but non-clinical development as well,

we're going to start to see that they become disengaged, and that retention risk starts to increase significantly.

And the challenge, of course, with that retention risk is multi-focused.

It's costly for one component.

It's terrible for morale.

obviously create some challenges with continuity of care and patient confidence.

So now you start to risk not only losing associates, other team members who get tired of that continual turnover cycle, but also you're going to start to see patient attrition, which severely impacts the return on investment or the growth of those practices.

Yeah, that's a great question.

And we're starting to see a few of the DSOs implement these programs effectively.

And really what it is, is a formal pathway.
