A dr looking to start a new office wants:
10 yrs management exp
team focus
marketing skills
manage 2 dr's and 8 staff
EFDA or HYGIENIST preferred
I have been a hygienist for 15 years and am thinking of applying but I have never managed in dental. I have assisted in hiring and firing, front desk, commercials, radio ads, insurance billing, collections. Does anyone have any advice and the pay is $20-30/hr depending on exp.? Thanks.

Suzanne, I think your well qualified based on what you have assisted in and by taking some management courses related to dentistry and beyond you should go for it. Just be careful of the starting a new office during these times as it could lead to unemployment for you. Best wishes in whatever you decide!!

Thank you so much for responding. I was not a candidate for the new office as I don't have excellent computer skills. I didn't feel it was a safe bet anyway. All the dr who interviewed me talked about was production as if I was going to be the hygienist still. But I am going to keep looking. Have a good week.
