While dentists throughout the U. S. have enrolled in hundreds of dental continuing education courses, seminars and workshops over the past 30 years, one class has consistently received rave reviews - Case Presentation with Dr. Michael Schuster. Registration is currently underway for dentists interested in enrolling in the business school for dentists.
The Schuster Center for Professional Development, 9312 E. Raintree Drive in Scottsdale, AZ has been surveying its clients for three decades. Case Presentation has always been on the top of the list of the dentists' favorite classes, according to Barb Stackhouse, a dental hygienist who helps facilitate and organize the Case Presentation classes with Dr. Schuster.
The class is part of the intensive management seminars and courses The Schuster Center offers to provide dentists with individualized, hands-on training that help them create a practice that is more profitable, fulfilling and congruent with a healthier, happier lifestyle.
"In my early days of practice, we used to hire consultants to come in to help us manage our practice," said Mike Robichaux, D. D.S. an alumnus of The Schuster Center's Practice Development Curriculum. "It seemed that each firm we hired had its own agenda. They tried to make my practice fit their idea of how a practice should look. Nothing seemed to "stick". Soon after they left, we went back to doing things the same way. What I realized later was that they didn't go deep enough with us. What we needed was an identification of our values, those things which we held to be very important, how to set up, and how to run our practice in such a way as to allow those values to be expressed. The Schuster Center was the only place we went where they did just that. They helped us create the practice that was right for not only us, but also for our patients."
The Practice Development Curriculum consists of several programs: Strategic Planning; The Management Program; Performance Coach; Health and Profit in Hygiene and Advanced Case Presentation. Through these programs, individual strategies are developed to address management issues such as cash flow, overhead, communication, marketing, organization, time management, case acceptance and team development.
Stackhouse, who is a faculty member of The Schuster Center, as well as serving as a dental hygienist and assistant to Dr. Schuster in his private dental practice, says she understands why dentists benefit so much from the program and why the Case Presentation section is such a hit with the dentists.
"Case Presentation is at the heart of what the dentists do. I am in the classroom for the duration of this topic when it is presented and you can really feel the positive energy flow when Dr. Schuster teaches this class," said Stackhouse.
Graduates from Dr. Schuster's programs confirm what Stackhouse says. "It was the Case Presentation workshop that put the practice of dentistry into a new light for me," said Dr. Robichaux. "It proved to me that we could put the patient's best interests first and still have a thriving, incredibly rewarding practice of dentistry. I was taught a new way to come to my patients, one that allowed me to be an advocate for the patient and to have the patient recognize that fact. Suddenly I was a friend, working with the patients to find ways to help them get what they wanted. Remarkably, all the stress and tension associated with presenting dentistry simply went away. Case acceptance soared. A steady busyness and increased profitability followed. Of course, this didn't happen overnight. I took the workshop several times. Each time I took it I heard things I hadn't heard before, even though I was sure they were told to me at previous sessions."
T. J. Bolt, D. D.S. also offered his thoughts about the program: "First of all, Case Presentation taught me self respect as a dentist. It helped to understand the art of the examination (structure), to go from a doctor collecting data, to a co-discovery process, where the patient learned about their condition as it related to their health. It helped me understand a process that I directed, so that the patient could understand what role that they played in the health process. It taught me how to structure a patient's care so that I could help them break out of the disease cycle. It helped me to understand that I was a facilitator. That the true meaning of a doctor was not a "treater" but a teacher."
Many of the topics covered in the Case Presentation class are also outlined in Dr. Schuster's DVD/CD-ROM program, Truth Based SellingSM. The audio/video program encompasses the concepts Schuster has put into practice for more than three decades. Truth Based SellingSM audio/video program orders, as well as Schuster's schedule of seminars, are available by calling 1-800-288-9393.
The Schuster Center for Professional Development is the first business school created exclusively for dentists. Since The Center was established, Dr. Schuster has guided thousands of graduates to achieve wealth and freedom.
Dr. Schuster is a cadre and former director at the Pankey Institute, adjunct faculty at The Dawson Center, OBI and LSU Cosmetic Continuum.
