Is Your Practice Helping You Build the Career You Want?
Download the Associate Career Growth Assessment to evaluate your clinical opportunities, mentorship, leadership, culture, and long-term career path.
Whether you’re considering a new opportunity or wondering if your current practice is still the right place to grow, this assessment will help you ask the questions that matter.
Is Your Practice Helping You Grow?
Salary, benefits, and location matter. But the practice you choose can shape far more than your paycheck.
The patients you see, procedures you’re exposed to, mentors you learn from, and responsibilities you’re trusted with all influence the dentist you become.
But those things can be much harder to evaluate than an offer letter.
This assessment gives you a practical way to look beyond the basics and determine whether an opportunity is actually helping you move forward.
Evaluate the 5 Areas That Shape Your Growth
Use the assessment to score your current or prospective practice across five key areas:
Patient Opportunity
Are you seeing enough patients and enough variety to build confidence?
Clinical Growth
Are you continually expanding what you can diagnose and treat?
Mentorship
Are experienced dentists actively invested in helping you improve?
Leadership & Culture
Are you surrounded by people who communicate, lead, and push one another to grow?
Career Path
Can you clearly see where your role could take you next?
At the end, you’ll receive an overall score to help identify where you’re thriving and where there may be room for more.
Before You Say Yes to Your Next Opportunity, Ask the Right Questions
The resource includes 8 questions to ask before accepting an associate position, covering everything from new patient volume and mentorship to CE, leadership opportunities, success metrics, and culture.
Because the goal isn’t simply to find your next job.
It’s to find an environment where you can keep becoming a better dentist.
