SUMMARY:Dental Group Purchasing Organizations Unveiled: Advantages\, Opportunities\, and Risks
DESCRIPTION:As you look ahead to 2026\, how can a single or small group dental practice compete in today’s competitive landscape? How can you match the buying and negotiating power of DSOs? Can you provide enticing benefits to your team and obtain cost-effective quotes? When you analyze your profitability\, every dollar saved contributes directly to your bottom line. \nCurrently\, 95% of medical doctors are part of Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs)\, and veterinarians have doubled their GPO participation in recent years. In contrast\, dentists are significantly trailing behind. It is evident that by working together to enhance purchasing power is not just beneficial\, but essential for sustainable success. This program explores solutions and bridges this crucial gap.\n\nLearning Topics\n*Explore the advantages of a GPO\n*Learn how to leverage opportunities within a GPO\n*Develop strategies to mitigate risks and make informed decisions regarding GPO participation\n\nBiography:\n\nFor the past 35+ years\, Dr. Graham has practiced dentistry in Chicago\, Illinois. As dentistry evolved throughout his career\, he remained at the cutting edge and incorporated many of these changes into both his multi-group specialty practice and his clinical courses. Dr. Graham’s course offerings incorporate the latest diagnostic technologies into everyday treatment planning and clinical care to ensure the best options and treatments are presented to each and every patient. \nThroughout his career\, his goal has always been to get teeth to their 75th birthday. With such\, Dr. Graham’s emphasis has always been based on trust with the patient and conservative dentistry. His courses highlight many of the restorative options in dentistry today along with an emphasis on customized approaches to periodontal care\, implants\, laser dentistry and treatment for the ever-expanding geriatric population. \nDr. Graham is the founder of Catapult Education\, now composed of 30+ speakers including clinical evaluators of the latest dental products and technologies with over 35\,000 education subscribers. \nDr. Graham is a published author and is the former Dental Director of the University of Chicago’s Department of Dentistry. \n  \n\nRegistration Options*\nCDA Member Dentist (Free!)\nDental Staff/Auxiliary (Free!)
