Wright: If you're navigating the dental practice market, deciding whether you want to join one or run one, this is the episode you've been waiting for. She tells us a little bit about her decision and what a typical day is like for her. Arnelle Wright chose a dental support organization (DSO) for her career path. Riley Shaff on what it's like to be in a small group practice, and how he likes that he gets to be his own boss, but his colleagues bring a different perspective to treatment planning and to business ownership, and they get to split some of those responsibilities. The speakers also acknowledge that not everyone will enjoy or feel fulfilled as a business owner and that some people may prefer to focus solely on patient interaction and clinical work. The importance of prioritizing mental health and wellness is addressed, recognizing that stress and burnout can negatively impact not only a dentist's work but also their overall well-being.Wu discusses some of the biggest changes he's experienced moving from a DSO, to an associateship, and now as a business owner. Wu describes his experience using ADA’s Practice Transitions services (ADAPT) to find a seller match. Wu speaks about the importance of having a framework for your career goals, seeking resources from friends and professors, listening to dental podcasts, and talking to local brokers and banks. He emphasizes that as a business owner, he has the ability to make decisions from top down, including day-to-day operations, influence the culture you want to foster, and the type of materials you use. Wu recently bought a practice earlier this year. Having always wanted to own a practice, Dr.He then moved into an associateship at a different practice. Fueled by a desire to gain more confidence and get experience, Dr.Wu worked as a general dentist in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a couple of years before moving back to his home in Southern California. He is a member of the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and the Tri County Dental Society. Simon Wu received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of the Pacific in downtown San Francisco in 2017. I would say the biggest change is definitely your mentality in the way you approach the practice and your patience because you know, at the end of the day, like everything falls on you.” “It's been a little crazy, the first two, three months of ownership, and that's obviously completely normal with any business. From buying your own practice to joining a DSO, we’ll hear from dentists who have gone through it, and learn more about the ins and outs of these career pathways in dentistry. Our career pathways conversation continues! In the second of a two- part special look at dental career paths, we’re looking at how to navigate the dental practice market. The second track is a stripped-down, slightly more lighthearted cover of “Nothing From Nothing,” originally sang by Billy Preston.Navigating Your Dental Career, part 2: Ownership, DSO, and Associateship Mac shows a more self-reflective and vulnerable side in Swimming, with tracks like “Dunno,” “2009,” and “Come Back to Earth.” This isn’t the first time Mac has demonstrated his piano prowess back in 2012, he shared a video of himself covering Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely?” Not only can he masterfully weave in (and pull off) clever wordplay in his raps, but he also sings like an angel. This track, like many others, proves Mac’s wide range of vocal talent. I prefer this piano rendition because you can feel his emotions through the crescendos in the piano and it focuses on the lyrics, which share such intimate details and thoughts. The stripped down version allows the listener to hear Mac’s raw vocals combined with a sole piano. If it’s even possible, this version is even more emotional than the original there has been speculation that this track is dedicated to Ariana Grande, reminiscing on experiences the couple shared. Personally, this is my favourite song from the record, so I lost my shit when I heard this. The songwriter swaps melancholic strings for an intimate piano in this acoustic rendition of “Dunno,” the tenth track off his most recent album Swimming.
