Meeting the challenge oF change For MaXiMuM case acceptancePresented by Dr. Mark Setter

October 11, 2013 | Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park | CE Credits: 7

Success in the practice of dentistry requires a wide variety of skills. These skills range from clinical competency, social adaptability, management of others, to leadership in getting others to follow your recommendations and vision. A successful career in any profession will typically span greater than twenty years, and during that time, constant change takes place, not only in the clinical advancements we have available, but also in the business environment we must work within.

This challenge of change can appear as an obstacle to success for the unprepared, or can be a huge opportunity for success to the

professional that sharpens the wide range of skills needed in a leading contemporary dental practice. This program is designed to prepare the contemporary dentist for the challenge of change that lies ahead by identifying the skills needed to make change the ally in the successful treatment of patients.

Some of the topics covered in this program:• Communication – How does a patient know your office is different from the next office?

What message are you sending to your patients?• Leadership – The profession of dentistry has leadership as being one of the primary skill sets

required for the practice of the future.• The Team – How does an office go from being a group of reasonably good employees to an

effective, motivated, passionate team of dental care providers most able to succeed in the future of an ever changing dental climate?

Implementation of the principles discussed in this program will provide the greatest opportunities for those offices that are willing to embrace the challenge of change.

Dr. Mark Setter graduated from the University of Michigan with a DDS and a Master’s Degree in Periodontics. Dr. Setter has had a private practice Limited to Periodontics in Port Huron since 1981.
