4th Annual Practice Management Symposium and EPM Alumni Reunion: From Associate to Partner and Beyond...

Course Description

Taking on Associates and transitioning them into buy-in Partners is a goal of many dentists. The process can be overwhelming and lead to failed attempts without sufficient information on how to structure and design the process. From the creation of the agreement to the aspects of a buy-in partnership, and financial distributions thereafter, this course will provide the foundation for dentists to understand the process.

  • Understand the goals of the associateship
  • Establish the planning process and timeframes for associateships

  • Illuminate strategies for successful negotiations
