Two days of detailed systems for building
and operating practice groups
The Group Ownership Seminar provides a comprehensive look at the multi-location space in dentistry. Covering important topics, ranging from legal structures to valuations and acquisitions to boots-on-the-ground operations, this two-day seminar event gives entrepreneurial attendees a well-rounded learning experience to help them excel in the groups space. After finishing this event, attendees will know best practices for structuring the organization, putting in place compensation plans, as well as HR systems and doctor recruitment strategies. Group owners will see how to create a management team for day-to-day operations. And attendees will understand the current financial and valuation trends. This seminar is not your typical DSO convention with minimal detail. This is a focused seminar for the entrepreneurial operator and builder of a practice group.
Seminar content
This two-day seminar is geared towards dentists and practice executives who currently manage many locations, as well as those who aspire to own and manage a larger enterprise of practices. Unlike any other group seminar or DSO conference, this course teaches the ins and outs of advanced practice management. Catering to the enterprise environment, this seminar material covers predictable implementation, group legalities, and the management challenges faced in growth. All topics are focused on larger dental organizations and include profitability, phones management, scheduling, insurance and billing, marketing, associate management, business models, compliance, legalities, funding, valuations, current trends, and updates in the dental group space. This course is fast paced and heavy in content and value. If you want to own multiple locations, currently manage multiple locations, are part of a larger regional dental group, or are considering maximizing the value of your group for a future exit, this seminar will prove an efficient and valuable investment of your time. It would practically be irresponsible of you to miss this content, considering what is at stake and how important the latest best practices are to a group.

Also, hands down the most efficient, actionable, impactful CE I’ve taken while being entertaining and motivating. Fantastic food and great memories. Just freaking take Breakaway if you’re going to be a practice owner. Why fly blind when you can follow a map?”

“Scott and the team at Breakaway Seminars presented a comprehensive set of information that is backed by testing and market research that anyone can apply to their business. I highly recommend anyone that is currently frustrated with their practice or team to come learn the systems for predictability and success. It was great to see that some of what Scott presented we were currently doing, but could tweak for greater results. Get down to San Antonio and take one of the Breakaway Seminars!”

“The Business Masters course was organized in a way that really helped me understand areas I could improve. I’ve started two successful practices already and I still learned an amazing amount. Lessons I had taught myself through failure and rough experience were explained with ease and in a way better than I had invented on my own. I wish I would have taken this course 15 years ago! I’m headed back for the startup course in preparation for opening my next practice.”

“Best place to learn practice management. A lot of useful, specific and targeted information and manuals. Most of the information is necessary even for non-US practicing dentists. A must for U.S. dentists.”
