Episode : #388: 3 Tips to Be a Rockstar Associate

Podcast Description

Kiera is joined by Dr. Jenny Perna to discuss steps associate doctors can take to be A+ — three specific steps, in fact, to get you there.

  1. Be a leader (listen to episode 367 to hear Dr. Perna’s thoughts on leadership without a title)

  2. Think like an owner (learn more about the business side!)

  3. Advance your skill (do right by your patients and seek out continuing education)

Taking these tasks on separates the wheat from the chaff, showing who is truly committed to the practice of dentistry. Dr. Perna also shares the benefits she’s seen in her own life from functioning as a rockstar associate.
