Every day, dental assistants face a variety of challenges in their job. How those challenges are met can affect the professional and personal lives of these valuable team members. In this fast-moving and interactive course, dental assistants will learn how to identify the issues that can "get under their skin" and how to deal with them.


In this course, we'll explore the typical dental assistant’s four main job-related concerns (money, respect, teamwork and attitude) and identify steps to embracing one’s own potential and leadership mindset. Additionally, dental assistants will learn why they are a key part of the dental practice’s business success and what they can do to not only enhance their own careers, but also the bottom line of the business.

Speakers

After this course attendees will be able to:

  • Identify on-the-job challenges that could affect performance and happiness
  • Understand the steps that can be taken to minimize the effects of those challenges
  • Explore how to have a more productive and fulfilling career as a dental assistant
