We are joined by Dr. Michael D. Medovic to discuss Rural Dentistry: A Path to Financial Success and Community Impact and much more!One of the most important career moments for a dentist is when they join a practice, expand, or sell a practice.

ADA Practice Transitions is bringing dentists all the tools, information and support that is vital to the process while facilitating matches based on what matters to dentists the most - their philosophy of care. They work closely with our clients, offering training and coaching - all with a focus on allowing them to achieve their individual and mutual goals.Learn more:www.adapracticetransitions.com ***** SPONSOR:– Omni Premier Marketing: https://omnipremier.com/dental-marketing/ CONNECT:– Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedentalbrief/– Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedentalbriefpodcast/– LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dental-brief-podcast-564267217– Patrick’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pchavoustie/– Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd08JzybKfNH0v12Q9jf50w WEBSITE:– https://dentalbrief.com/
