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

uh our um and then we get into at the very culmination of that our advanced treatment planning course but it takes tidbits of all of that so now if you take that course on a friday saturday on monday it's going to be able to be implemented our digital team uh run by dr tom leonard very bright guy a guy that i really enjoy working with

Tom is developing all of the asynchronous videos to support these workshops.

So when you go home, you not only have the resources that support what you learned in person, but there are resources that will bring your entire clinical team along as well, but your hygienists, your assistants, and your treatment coordinators can watch.

So that's something that I'm really excited about because I think it's new curriculum, it's new education,

And the future of dentistry is what I'm really excited about.

If you put me on the spot in terms of our existing courses, Dr. Greg Kinzer and Dr. Bob Winter, Dr. Jeff Rose, our senior faculty, all teach incredible courses.

I think Dr. Winter's restorative design course has been a perennial favorite for many, many years.

And anyone who comes out of that, including myself, when they have the opportunity to take it, they feel it's quite transformative.

So that would be our legacy course, restorative design.

But our new foundation core workshops are something that I'm really excited to see implemented and launched.

You know, one of the things that I've found that a lot of the leaders that I've worked with, including when I was in this role in Canada, were so concerned about patient acquisition.

And in a downward trending economy or flat economy, focusing on what happens after the patients arrive can be more consequential than the number of patients coming through the door.

I read a statistic that said that if the patient has not committed to treating a treatment or at least book their next patient, it's over 40% never really come back.

So those are hugely consequential, negatively impactful numbers.

So we know that confident clinicians will diagnose more comprehensively.

They will present treatment more effectively.

They're going to be able to build trust with patient's bill, and that is going to increase case acceptance.

So ultimately, education becomes both a performance component, but also a retention lever.

So if you can focus as a DSO on more comprehensive associate diagnosis with fewer gaps in that diagnosis, you have stronger patient communication and your associates are able to execute that treatment more effectively.

We're going to see higher retention.
