Featuring deans representing some of the most highly recognized dental education programs, this book provides a broad, yet comprehensive overview of the ins and outs of the industry and the strategic thinking behind operating a dental school. Discussing the importance of building a successful faculty and administration team, authors provide valuable insights into the business and offer indispensable advice for success. These leaders identify strategies for leading a dental education program into the twenty-first century and emphasize the importance of engaging in both college and university-based strategic planning in order to do so. From assessing the status of the facility and equipment to preserving the school s financial security while maintaining the quality of education, these authorities articulate the finer points around the business now, and what will hold true into the future. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great minds of today, as experts explore in detail what it takes to build and sustain the organizations that educate the future s great dentists. Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world s most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession, or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
