THE COURSE

The Institute for Private Practice (IPP) is a collaborative effort by dental and business school faculty, all with experience in the dental industry with private practitioners, aimed at providing dental practice leaders with the practical business knowledge to improve practice operations and earnings.​We are committed to the ethical practice of dentistry where the clinician drives patient care and practice operations.  

We believe that a practical education in the business concepts critical to effective and profitable operations is necessary for success in the current rapidly changing dental industry.

Most dentists in private practice rapidly learn that they have not been fully prepared for the challenges of operating a successful business.  Dentists often find that they have to learn "on the job" from experience, independent research, fellow clinicians, and even sales representatives about the myriad of issues faced with business opeerations.

The faculty of the IPP believe that a brief three weekend executive style course program can provide dental practice leaders with the critical information necessary to meet the new competitive pressures facing the dental industry.  With our experience as business faculty and in dental practice operations we have identified the key areas of knowledge necessary for a strong practical education for business leaders.
