Last year, the ITI teamed up with IMD Institute for Management Development – a globally top-ranked provider of executive education – and is now offering dental practitioners a customized, online dental practice management course that will help them to maximize their business impact. The first cycle was a great success, so the ITI is happy to offer a second opportunity for practice owners and anyone looking to open a practice to pick up valuable know-how.

The second course cycle starts on September 10, 2021 and comprises the three fundamental components of every successful practice: Business Insights, Leadership Insights & Marketing & Customer/Patient Centricity. It is practical, case-based and intended for immediate application in daily practice.

With these components, this online course responds to the needs of dental practice owners who are seeking the knowledge and insights to run their practice more successfully and efficiently, differentiating it clearly within their market.

The course is tailor-made for dentists and has been designed to produce the highest learning results, leading to ITI/IMD certification. Participants will learn how to transform their business by implementing a strategic approach, driving financial performance, and enhancing their leadership skills as well as marketing their practice effectively. All three modules can also be taken separately.

“As dental professionals, we should recognize that business skills don’t come automatically,” says Stephen Chen, ITI President. “The online Dental Practice Management course provides participants with valuable business knowledge and tools that quickly translate into real-world results, allowing them to concentrate on providing the best patient care possible.”

This learning journey makes use of videos, cases, animations as well as frameworks and tools designed for reflection and exploration. Learning progress is monitored through engaging quizzes, projects and assignments, while personal study groups enhance the learning process through peer support. The Dental Practice Management course offers all participants the option of one-to-one coaching from an expert online coach.
