Have you ever asked yourself, “Am I doing anything well?” Have you ever wondered if your career path was on track? This program is designed to help you better understand your leadership potential and abilities. In this interactive program, three leading dentists will share data and lessons learned from clinical practice, dental industry and organized dentistry to address women dentists’ leadership and career pathways. Dr. Babo will start the day identifying the myths that have been targeted toward women dentists. Data from the ADA’s vast database of dentist surveys will provide a factual basis for discussion.

Following the three presentations, the panel will take questions from the audience. At the end of the session, attendees should have a formula for identifying a career path that meets their unique needs, and for developing a plan to reach their goals for a successful dental career.
