Blog 8 - Research and Working EQ

1)      My working EQ so far is: How can a dentist manage their own dental clinic effectively?

2)      For my two answers, it would be:

       a)By placing their clinic in certain demographics and advertising their work to attract patients.

       b)By connecting with their local patients and teaching them the overall health issues that are brought up by many common cases.

3)       One of my sources is a book titled "Business Basics for Dentists", there was one specific chapter that talked about the different options a beginning dentists could do when starting their own clinic or working in one.

4)       I have two mentors but one is the main doctor (dentist), while my other mentor is the main dental assistant manager. The clinic that I go to is in Pomona called, Trance and Dental Spa. They both showed me that not everything is what it seems when going to the dentist, because of how relaxing the environment is around my mentor's clinic. The patients always have personal conversations with the assistants, and they can easily talk to them about their health issues and the dentist would give them helpful advice, as well as advising them to go see their doctors on more information.
