Sharing Insight

The current California Dental Association Journal, February, 2007, provides a theme issue on practice management and preparing for the stages in practice. Under the leadership of Dr. Bill Van Dyk as the theme editor the topics address are: In The Beginning on starting in practice, by Dr. Van Dyk, Feel Like Giving Up and Getting Out... From Beneath the Mid-Career Squeeze on keeping the practice vital with a perspective on team building, image enhancement and others by Sally McKenzie and my article, Smart Approach To Practice Transition: Options and Strategies, on preparing for transition and retirement. There have already been many positive and complimentary messages about the group of topics and my article. To me the real payoff is that in the dental literature there is now a combined theme or group perspective that can help doctors over time. The combined insight of several authors on a single theme is what should prove helpful. I’d like to suggest that many doctor CEO’s have perspectives on management, marketing, profitability that can help other doctors. Think about sharing your insight to help others!
