The Association of Dental Support Organizations (ADSO)

Regardless of whether you are interviewing or negotiating with a #DentalSupportOrganization, a private practice or other practice model, follow along for tips from ADSO to #AceYourInterview! Today, we’re talking all about supplies and services! In an interview, you’ll want to ask about the supplies and services available so you can find out more about the office you’re working in. What dental supplies are currently in the office inventory? Are you able to choose supplies not on the company formulary? What labs are on the preferred list? What services do they provide, and are you able to use an outside lab if a specific service isn't offered?

Welcome back to #DSO101, where we guide you through the basics on #DentalServiceOrganizations, or #DSOs, and what they do! In terms of professional development, DSOs provide clinical mentorship to help hone clinical care skills, robust training curricula for continuing education, and peer networks through which you can share best practices and develop a professional support group. DSOs are inherently structured to provide dentists at any stage of their career access to support and mentoring. To learn more about DSOs, visit the #DSODifference: https://dsodifference.org/
