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

So you want to align those learnings to the career stage bill, like you just mentioned.

So if you're tenured, obviously the skill sets and advancement that you want to be focusing on is quite different than that first three to five years.

But especially in that first three to five years where those are the areas or that 10 years where we're at most risk for turnover,

What we need is a structured milestone driven plan and the DSOs that are doing this well, we're seeing that.

So they have clearly defined milestones.

They're building access to both clinical and non-clinical growth and developmental pathways.

They're encouraging peer learning, developing community, which I think is important.

to ensure that our early career dentists feel satisfied with their career choice as opposed to being unmotivated and having some level of regret with the career path that they've gone into.

You want those programs to measure progress, measure engagement.

And at Spear, what we've done is we're focusing on these educational entry points.

We have a foundations membership program.

And these are things that DSOs can implement simplistically.

And this infrastructure is already built.

So they're not having the onus of having to build that from scratch themselves.

So having an aligning pathway that is based on their career stage, I think is really important.

But really focusing on that early career dentist, that first three to five years with a structured program is going to be important for associate development and retention.

Well, Spear's always been renowned for decades for developing clinical excellence.

And we've taken those learnings and that skillset, but we now understand that with demographic changes, paradigm shifts within the profession of dentistry, early career dentists aren't necessarily aspiring immediately towards clinical excellence.

They wanna be able to effectively

do a filling and complete it confidently.
