Step 1: Find your mentor – Meet Doctor A
First things first, you need the right guide. Doctor A is not just a seasoned dentist but a visionary leader. With his Black Swan Dental Spa, he’s created a practice that’s as luxurious as it is cutting-edge. Inspired by the BACD and his journey from NHS to an award-winning private practice, Doctor A is the perfect mentor (amongst many others) to lead you through this transformation.
Step 2: Understand the inspiration behind PDM
The PDM course was born out of necessity. Post-COVID, the demand for private dental treatments soared, but there was a shortage of skilled dentists ready to meet this need. Doctor A recognised this gap and created PDM to provide comprehensive training and mentorship, ensuring dentists are well-equipped to thrive in private practice. read more about the inspiration behind PDM here.
Step 3: Choose your path – explore course options
PDM offers flexible learning paths tailored to your needs:
– Two-Day Courses: Dip your toes into the essentials of private dentistry.
– Individual Modules: Focus on specific skills or areas of interest.
– 12-Month PDM Programme: An extensive journey covers everything from clinical skills to patient management.
Step 4: Take the plunge into comprehensive training
The 12-month programme focuses on a specific theme each month. Topics include pain management, communication skills, anterior and posterior restorations, morphology, rubber dam skills, photography, and root canal treatments. This structured progression ensures you build a solid foundation before moving on to more advanced techniques.
Step 5: Embrace mentorship
One of the standout features of PDM is the ongoing mentorship. Weekly Zoom sessions provide a platform to ask questions, discuss cases, and get personalised advice. This support bridges the gap between theory and practice, helping you apply your learning effectively in real-world scenarios.
Step 6: Flexibility and accessibility
Whether you’re a fresh graduate or an experienced dentist, PDM’s flexible course options cater to all. You can choose individual modules or commit to the full programme. The monthly payment plan is considerate, with lower rates for recent FD or DCT graduates, making quality training accessible to everyone.
Step 7: Make the leap – transform your career
Transitioning to private practice is a big step, but with PDM, you’re not alone. The courses equip you with the skills, confidence and support needed to excel in private dentistry. It’s an opportunity to distinguish yourself in private practice and build a successful, rewarding career.
