About The Financial Survival Guide For

Product Description Dental school prepares students for the clinical aspects of dentistry, but not for the business of dentistry itself. As students and residents alike, we graduate with massive debt and must act as our own small business entities without knowing how to begin structuring our financial lives. Contracts, loans, insurances and retirement options are languages we don't speak yet are critical to our success. The result is that dental professionals are left to figure it all out on their own and "learn the hard way." Until now. The Financial Survival Guide for Dentists reviews the crucial details of all the essential factors needed to create the foundation for our careers as we get started. The business of dentistry is no different than anything else; given the right guidance, we can set ourselves on a path for success. So let's take control back and begin the journey on our terms. This is everything you needed to learn, but were never taught, in dental school. Review 1. "Finally! A book written for dentists by a dentist that explains the financial issues facing dental professionals from the beginning of their journey in dental school all the way to retirement. Dr. Shamardi skillfully dissects the concerns and provides practical advice and solutions in a very simple and personal manner. I enjoyed reading this book from beginning to end and found it to be thought provoking, helpful and greatly entertaining."

"As a recent dental school graduate, I am overwhelmed with the amount of financial decisions I will have to make in the coming months. Dr. Shamardi's book is an essential guide for dental students, recent grads, and any dentist looking to better manage their finances. Clearly organized and simply explained - with some personal stories to reassure the reader that it really will all be okay - it is an incredible resource that I will continue to refer to in the years ahead." -Kayla Vasconcellos, DMD 3. "When you graduate from dental school they promise you the world. However, very quickly you realize that you are crippled by student debt and everyone looking to hire you is just our for themselves. Dr Shamardi's book helps you navigate the first few years of your career! Must read for any new dental student/dentist" -Jonathan Werbitt, DMD MSD 4. "The Financial Survival Guide for Dentists provides an invaluable source of information for new dentists. I wish this book was available when I graduated from dental school seven years ago! Managing student debt, creating financial security, joining a practice, and negotiating contracts are topics that are not taught in school. Yet, these are things that all dentists will need to know about. I highly recommend Dr. Shamardi's book! Read it, study it, and incorporate this new knowledge into how you build your practice!" -Megan Huyett, DMD 5.
