Complete training for the job of Scheduling Coordinator in a dental office.
Course Description
The Scheduling Coordinator is the person that dictates the overall production of your practice. They are in direct control of doctor’s and hygienists’ time, and you will only ever produce what they schedule.
A great Scheduling Coordinator knows how to design the schedule with the perfect balance of high-production-procedures and case presentation opportunities, fill holes quickly, minimize cancellations, maintain flexibility, coordinate with the team, reactivate inactive patients, and monitor patient attrition rates to ensure hygiene and doctor production keep expanding over time.
This course provides training for all of those job functions and more, and includes attendant policies, forms and checklists for download.
