Training

Through the Nash Institute for Dental Learning Debra conducts the Dental Business School, an immersive two-day executive training experience designed for EVERYONE in the dental office. Through this program each member of the team learns the essential elements that make up the management and communication skills of a high-functioning dental office. Topics include New Patient Protocol, Treatment Presentation (how to get to “Yes!”), Office Systems, Diagnosing Practice Vital Signs, Overhead Ratios and Profitability, Financial Arrangements, and much more. The entire team comes away from the Dental Business School inspired to not only understand how their efforts affect practice growth, but with ideas and skills to increase productivity and patient acceptance.

Consulting

Debra not only teaches and trains groups of dental professionals, she also works one-on-one consulting personally with doctors and their teams. In these intimate consulting relationships Debra gets “down-and-dirty” with the practice in establishing values-driven goals with focused attention to meet the needs, apply the systems, and mentor the skills of each member of the team to create “the powerful practice”.

Practicing

Married to the world-renowned cosmetic dentist and dental educator, Dr. Ross Nash of the Nash Institute for Dental Learning, Debra continues to work in his busy practice, doing exactly what she preaches. She doesn’t need to learn the most current practice in office administration and patient communications, she is creating innovative solutions to increase practice productivity, sustainable growth, and exceptional Team Performance

“We spend 85 percent of our time interacting with patients and only 15 percent in actual clinical applications. More training in communication skills may be needed in your practice to improve team skills.”
