| My focus is helping practices streamline
their management systems, integrate new technology and educate staff
for maximum performance.
I am first and foremost an educator. I believe in teaching the basics- the nuts and bolts of organizing simple practice systems to get the job done with less stress, more consistency, happier patients and greater profits. This is the purpose of my "How to run a practice" speaking presentations.
My effectiveness is based on hands on experience. As I like
to say, “I came from the trenches.” I started
as a Certified Dental Assistant in 1974 and over the next
15 years worked in every position in an orthodontic practice.
My guiding philosophy comes from this direct experience--
keep it simple and empower your staff.
Another asset I bring to practices is expertise in technology.
I worked for Integrated Management Systems (IMS) from 1990
to 1995 as a sales consultant and trainer. I have been an
independent trainer for Dolphin Imaging Systems users for
over ten years and am a frequent speaker at their user group
meetings.
I teach job-specific and cross-training workshops for staff
and have written four workbook manuals on orthodontic management
systems and the functions of the four coordinator positions
in an orthodontic practice.
Thank you for your interest in my services. I look forward to hearing from you or seeing you at an orthodontic meeting. I can generally be found in the Dolphin booth or in the program as a speaker. Warm regards,
Vickie |
