PM10 - Private Practice: The Value in Owning the Work of Your Hands

Thursday, September 12, 2024
1:30 PM – 3:30 PM EDT
Location: W231, Orange County Convention Center
CE: 2.0 CDE
The oral and maxillofacial surgery landscape has changed, with a growing amount of well-funded corporations entering the market promising wealth and ease through dental service organizations. This session will explore all aspects of selling an OMS practice to a DSO, including different elements of a typical DSO offer and real-life experiences of practices having gone through this process.
The session also offers a path for OMSs to continue thriving in a private practice environment, while also providing insights on the future of oral and maxillofacial surgery if corporate control continues to advance.
This session is meant for OMSs at all stages of their careers and will provide valuable insights for surgeons considering selling their practices to DSOs or joining DSOs.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
  1. Define what an offer from a DSO is presenting.
  2. Explain what a typical DSO associate contract contains.
  3. Determine how to thrive without selling to a DSO.
