Learning Dental Office Management Online

By Sam Cardale


The Schuster Center for Professional Development was founded in 1978 by Dr. Michael Schuster. His mission is now the same as it was back in 1978 - to provide dentists with all the information they didn't get in dentistry school, but need if they're going to thrive. Making this information available with online classes for dentists has been one of his greatest accomplishments for the profession.

That makes sense when you think about it. The skills you learn in order to become a dentist are highly specific and extremely specialized. On the other hand, the collection of entrepreneurial skills required to grow and run a business are fairly generalized. Two completely different schools of thought, and for many in the academic world, there's just something vaguely distasteful about delving too deeply into the business side of things. Here is where the value of online dental business training comes in to play.

Obviously, since you survived medical school, you're an intelligent person. That's not in question. Unfortunately, however, intelligent people sometimes forget that like everyone else, they actually have to go through the process of learning new skills before they can put them to use. There's certainly nothing you'll find in business school that will be any more difficult than what you've already encountered in medical school, so it's not that you'll find the coursework to be especially challenging, simply that you need to be exposed to the information before you can put it to use.

Work-life balance? You're probably working 70 hours or more a week, and the notion of any sort of balance at all seems like a distant dream. That's the trap, because working those kinds of hours makes it all but impossible to attend conferences, lectures or classes designed to teach you the skills you're lacking. Again, the value of online dental business training can be easily seen here. Even if you found one somewhere, would you be able to go? Would you be able to attend all the sessions, and if you did, what would happen to your practice while you were gone? Would you have anything to come back to? It's risky.

Unpleasant or no, the bottom line is that dentists have to eat too, and the only way to do that is to master the business side of the profession too, but here's the rub: Once you're in business and struggling, it can be monumentally difficult to find the time to further your education. To learn the things you know are necessary for you to learn if you want the struggle to start getting easier by taking courses on managing a dental office.

The bottom line is this: If you're struggling to make your business a success, there are plenty of things you can do about that, but it all starts with acquiring the knowledge you need to successfully run and manage the business through online classes for dentists. We cannot only help, but we can help on your schedule. Stop by our website today and check out the courses we offer.
