The focus on making patients the winners and allowing them to be the stars of the treatment programs is also what differentiates excellent branding in healthcare. Concentrating on making patients the center of the value chain is critical (Garland, 1993).
Postulate potential barriers to your talent plan for becoming a dentist.
My talent plan for becoming a dentist is aggressive, focused and will require nothing less than total commitment. I am confident my work ethic is strong enough and focus is definitely on the goal as well. The concern is about the pace of learning that will certainly accelerate throughout upper division courses, a point my advisors have made in discussions about the future of my talent plan. I realize I need to begin now to create the necessary foundations of alliances with professors, advisors, and upper classmen so I have a network of expert support to draw on so I can quickly grasp complex concepts. This idea of a network of advisors, a knowledge-sharing network if you will makes more and more sense to me as I consider it. This concept of a learning alliance will be critical for getting the necessary insights to drive for greater accomplishment and the ability to gain insights into the advanced topics. This knowledge-sharing network is also going to be critical for creating more effective learning experiences across my entire class as well. The potential barrier of being able to keep up with the workload will be offset by the create of a knowledge-sharing...
Finally, I am concerned about how to capture the techniques being taught so I can retain and review them while practicing dentistry. I can see how quickly the field is changing and how critical it will be to continually concentrate on new techniques. My focus on the areas of specialization will also need to be updated yearly; that is also becoming clear form how quickly the areas of dentistry are also changing. I'm particularly interested in the latest alloy developments are changing how crowns and teeth replacement is changing the economics of this industry. This area will be very valuable to stay current on, as the lightweight nature of these materials will be useful for patients who do not want to be burdened with heavy fillings, crowns or dentures.
