Advanced Dental Mangement

The Advance Dental Management Course is designed for experienced dental managers, office administrators, and dentists who are interested in enhancing their current skills and learning more about the business side of the dental office.

Being involved in dental management goes far beyond monitoring the dental aspects of a practice. It also involves skills in leadership and human resources.  The goal of this course is to assist students in making dental management not just a job, but a career in which they can continue to grow.

This course may be combined with any of our other courses to enhance knowledge of dental practice management.  Although not a prerequisite, it is encouraged that new students combine the Advance Dental Management Course with the Dental Office Management Program, making each student more valuable as an efficient member of a dental team. This self-paced training is offered in the Diploma Program as a 4-week course and for CE credit, upon passing, of 8 hours for dental professionals satisfying continuing education requirements for licensure. Regardless of how much time is spent on the course, no more than 8 CE credits will be extended. However, you may choose to access the material for study or review during the entire 4-week duration of the online course.

Karen Mouton

Instructor

Karen Mouton started her career in dentistry in 1983 as a dental assistant. Within 2 years, she was floating between the front and back office. She excelled at managing the office’s recall system and perfecting it. Learning the ropes of verifying the patient’s insurance verification came next. It wasn’t long before helping patients understand their treatment options and uncovering all the ‘fine print’ details of their dental coverage became Karen’s passion. She started working for a 3rd party insurance verification service in the early 90”s long before this was a popular alternative for dental practices. Karen has spent more than 25 years uncovering all the particulars of employer group and individual dental policies. Her motto is one confirmation is never sufficient, regardless of where it comes from. Comparing various sources of information from faxbacks, carrier websites, dental handbooks, verbal confirmations and insurance contracts is the only way to avoid unexpected insurance surprises and ensure accurate benefits are being quoted to patients.

Karen regularly attends dental conventions, coordinates annual events so her clients can be exposed to national speakers in the industry, and is a member of the IAPlus Academy board of directors.
