From the pleated pants and patterned sport shirt, to Hillary, HMOs, Barnes & Noble, The Suns, and intended for male audience. Well worth the time to watch. Some things have changed a lot, but still relevant. Thanks!

Great course for any dentist looking to take the plunge into business ownership. Coming out of dental school 2 years ago i had no knowledge whatsoever about owning or running a business. Knowing i was going to eventually be taking over one I began searching for any and every business/ practice management course i could find. This course gives you an enormous amount of information for your money and has helped me get things moving in the right direction by making positive changes in my new practice that make an immediate difference. And, 45 Ce credits doesn't hurt.
