Abstract
The curriculum provided for the University of Washington School of Dentistry is vastly centered around academics and clinical practice. However, there is no instruction for dental students post-graduation on the business and ownership aspect of having a dental office. The Dental Practice Ownership Assocation intends to solve this problem but providing members with the necessary resources and education on how to run and own a practice of their own. We intend to do so by providing a connection and engagement between current dental students and practicing dentists in Washington. This will provide added success to graduating students at University of Washington School of Dentistry and give them the confidence and insight they need to correctly begin their career in the field of dentistry. Our proposal, seeks funding for cameras and microphones to help record and document our guest speakers and educational services that we will provide for our students, and in the near future provide these resources to other dental schools.
