External Threats:
Embezzlement isn’t the only way your practice can be robbed; this session focuses on how not to be a target for external threats like scams, burglary, and identity/information theft.

How to avoid the worst hiring mistake:
Imagine David’s shock when, two weeks after he caught his first embezzler, he had an appointment at his own dentist’s office and saw her there! Serial embezzlers, and other undesirable employees are all too common in dentistry and can cause tremendous damage to a practice. David has been given a front-row seat to observe how people who should never work in dentistry get hired, and he distills that wealth of knowledge down to concrete hiring steps that a practice owner or office manager can use to find out what applicants don’t want them to know.
