F-4 Demographics of Tomorrow's Workforce
CE Hours: 1.0
Description:The dentists workforce is changing, including among endodontists. Overall, there is a significant “generational shift” happening within the dental profession, with a large number of baby boomer dentists and a large number of Millennial dentists. As the baby boomers age out into retirement, the dental workforce will get younger. At the same time, more women and diverse applicants are entering the profession. This spells changes for the practice model, including a rapid growth in large group practice. Join the ADA Health Policy Institute to see the latest data on the endodontist workforce, how they are practicing, what the latest economic data show about patient volume, practice costs, and to discuss long term trends in the profession. We will look at endodontics compared to other specialties and have lots of time for Q&A.
Learning Objectives:
- Review the latest data on key trends in the endodontist workforce
- Identify key forces reshaping the practice of endodontics in the next 5 years
- Discuss opportunities for dentists in the changing practice environment
