Dental Group Purchasing Organizations Unveiled: Advantages, Opportunities, and Risks

September 23 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

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.

Currently, 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.
Learning Topics
*Explore the advantages of a GPO
*Learn how to leverage opportunities within a GPO
*Develop strategies to mitigate risks and make informed decisions regarding GPO participation
