The Very Dental Podcast Network Very Dental Student: Early Practice Ownership with Dr. Steve Beard
Mohamed is joined by Dr. Steven Beard of Shared Practices to talk about dental school, dental school graduation and practice ownership for the new dentist the "Shared Practices" way!
- Steven's "why dentistry" and why it's different than most
- Dental school with a "future practice owner" mindset (entering dental school with an MBA)
- Can a dental student prepare to own a dental business while being locked in by the four walls of the dental school?
- Making sure to learn the fundamentals is vital, but sometimes hard
- Steven's clinical experience at UAB and why a GPR vs. other residencies?
- The Shared Practices philosophy
- Practice ownership as early as possible
- How flexible are you in the area you want to practice and demographics
- The Shared Practices mailer method (the "off market approach")
- Practice avatars
