DENTAL BUSINESS SCHOOL
DELIVERING THE MISSING CURRICULUM OF DENTAL EDUCATION
Application of knowledge for the purpose of earning a respectable lively hood is the ultimate aim of all professional education. Professional education is imparted and received with the sole purpose of learning a vocation for the benefit of the society at large and providing for the recipient of the education a respectable role in the service of the society and a means of livelihood. |

Dental Education Concentrates on dental diseases, their causes and their treatment. The curriculum is regularly updated to include the latest advances as they filter in from all over the world. The graduating student, therefore, is very well informed about the subject and also acquires a reasonable skill in the pursuit of the profession of dentistry. Some among them labour further and acquire skills in specific areas as specialists.
The five plus years are dedicated to education only. Not even a fraction of the time is spent on preparing the student for the life after college. This would be fine in the eventuality that all would be employed to serve in jobs waiting for them. The reality is quite the opposite. Jobs are scarce and most dentists have to fend for themselves as practitioners in self financed establishments.
Ironically, Jobs are on the decline and the earnings need not be sufficient for providing the resources for the up keep of the family in today’s economic scenario.
Private practice is the best option for most Dental Graduates.
A graduate fresh out of college is posed with a number of questions that nag his young mind.
HOW DO I START MY PRACTICE ?
HOW DO I RUN THE PRACTICE?
WHERE WILL I GET MY PATIENTS ?
HOW DO I CHARGE FOR MY SERVICES ?
HOW DO I COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY ?
HOW DO I FINANCE MY PROJECT ?
WILL I BE SUCCESSFUL ?
IS THERE A METHODOLOGY INVOLVED ?
WHY WASN’T I TAUGHT THIS PART OF MY EXISTENCE ?
The scenario in India is totally different from the one that exists in the west everything revolves around awareness to dentistry.
Practice management in Indian terms means struggling for your share of the profession because of lack of awareness.
In the west it means managing the large numbers of patients that flow in because of the awareness to dentistry and finding ways to say no to patients.
This most important crucial part of education is missing from the curriculum of dental education.The very expensive education finds no place for preparing the graduate for the life after college.The graduating dental student is never taught anything about how to run the profession.
Economics is the governing factor and the market forces do not take kindly to trial and error methodology.
The practice of dentistry is an entrerprise with all the inputs of a business.
There is a capital at risk. huge investment in education, premises and equipment is the capital that must be put to good use to get the best returns on investment.
Excellence in academics is no guarantee for a successful practice. The brightest students have been seen to struggle as practitioners.
Business management has been introduced in all spheres of economic activity. It is time to introduce the concept to dental practice for the best results and a good return on capital invested.
The dental business school provides the crucial missing input to succeed in the market as practitioners.
