Episode 108 - Mentoring in Dentistry

“In my opinion, mentoring the young dentist is critical to
the long-term success of dentistry."

I had the great opportunity recently to sit down with my nephew and a friend of his who are in dental school. They just really blew me away with their questions and interest in the business of dentistry. You know, when I was teaching at Baylor University, I was sharing all these practice management tips and I would have maybe three or four students come up to me with questions about business afterwards. The rest seemed uninterested.

But that doesn't appear to be the case with this new crop of students coming through the dental schools; they seem to have a totally different thought process about business. They're hungry for it. And, in my opinion, we as experienced dentists and business owners have a great opportunity to mentor these younger dentists.

You know, in dentistry we tend to think of ourselves as on our own little islands or in our own silos, but the reality is the more information these younger dentists can get, the more set up for success they are. And I think we have a calling to help set other dentists up to be successful. So today, I want to talk more about mentoring in dentistry, including:

        
  • Sharing the mindset of an independent business owner
  •     
  • A mindset of abundance
  •     
  • What you as the mentor gain from a mentoring relationship
