Private practice: myths vs reality

Description

Over the past decade private practice has increasingly become the only option for newly qualified dentists. This has been as a result of healthcare services becoming a devolved function with no guarantee of employment after internship. The BDS curriculum does not include courses that prepare qualifying dentists for private practice. The lack of knowledge of business, management& finance can make private practice a daunting undertaking.
