BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A new program in Dental Management is being offered by The Center for Management Development in the University at Buffalo School of Management in cooperation with UB's School of Dental Medicine.

The program, titled "The Dentist as CEO," is designed to help dentists better understand the business aspects of a dental practice. It will be held in two weekend sessions, Sept. 19 and 20, and Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, on UB's North (Amherst) Campus.

"This program breaks new ground in dental education. It will teach dentists how to approach their practices from an entirely different perspective, using tools known to business managers," says Ronald Krul, executive director of the Center for Management Development.

The program will cover three major areas: developing the strategic aspects of a practice, implementing strategies through people and assessing financial performance and financial planning.

It is designed to provide extensive interaction between the participants and faculty members in the School of Management. Participants will have opportunities to utilize information from their own practices during interactive sessions.

The cost of the program is $1,295. For registration or information, call the School of Management at 645-3200 or the School of Dentistry at 829-2320.
