The second part of the Resident Business Wellness webinar series will focus on the nuances of different practice models. While many residents are familiar with private and academic practices, they may have an incomplete understanding of the different corporate models that are becoming increasingly common, such as dental support organizations, dental leadership organizations and management organizations. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of various practice models is important for residents so they can be well-informed and make the best decision for themselves, their families and their careers when finding a job post-residency.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

Review the advantages and disadvantages of all oral and maxillofacial surgery practice models.
Provide an opportunity to ask questions to surgeons practicing within these models.
