Orthodontists are being asked to leave residency hitting the ground running. Planning and preparing for a successful career in Orthodontics starts in residency with a learning curve beyond what can be provided in residency alone. There is no need to go it alone when there are mentors/career coaches available to guide you along your career path. Choosing to have someone with knowledge and experience to help you navigate the many decisions that go into a successful future can be invaluable. Having a mentor/career coach can pay significant dividends in the big picture of your professional and personal life. This course is designed to help you decide whether a mentor and/or career coach is the right choice for you.
Learning Objectives:
After this session, attendees will be able to:
Better understand the differences between a mentor, career coach, and consultant; and how each can play a different role in one's professional development and success.
Determine whether you would personally benefit by seeking out a mentor or career coach to get you to where you want to be both professionally and personally.
Personally relate to the many challenges faced by residents as they leave residency to enter into private practice.
