Our specialty is trending towards corporate dominance. Even in private practice, it seems to be a numbers race to "scale and sell". For new orthodontists entering our specialty, the idea of being successful in a solo private practice must seem insurmountable. Not only is it possible, but Dr. Foster believes it is in the best interest of our specialty that orthodontists thrive in this scenario.
Learning Objectives:
After this session, attendees will be able to:
Review the current corporate dominant environment and the shrinking share of solo private practice.
Review specific areas in practice that the solo practices have greater flexibility to compete.
Review why individual orthodontists continuing to operate in this fashion is critical to the long term sustainability of our profession.
