Off-Site Seminars

Today’s dental team realizes that on-going efforts are required to develop and master their skills of patient management. They’ve come to learn that patient care extends beyond the procedures performed in the chair, knowing there is more that should be done by the entire dental team to make a patients visit both enjoyable and informative.

Are you using your software to it’s fullest potential? Could things be easier? Experiencing too much open time in the schedule? Would you like to know how effective your numbers are?

How Do We Do It?

The training sessions are held at a computer training facility where participants are equipped with their own terminal to learn and practice their new skills. Ideally, in advance, we will acquire a backup of your files which only your staff will use for the session. Optionally, a sample database will be available for staff to use. At the seminar, each participant will be provided with an analysis of their practice to know what benchmarks they should be shooting for.

Each session has a limited number of attendants allowing for maximum and active participation during the workshops.

Never has a seminar been more focused or personal to you! These workshops will most definitely pay for themselves in the first month!
