How to Find and Land Your Dream Associateship
By Dr. Tony Schicktanz, DDS
This book is a result of Dr. Schick’s passion to help recently graduated dentists who are now in the same position he was once in. Dr. Schick quickly realized after graduating from dental school that there were many important aspects of a dental career that were not taught in school. This book serves as a guide for those dentists, helping them decide between private practice and corporate dental settings, find the best associateship and successfully secure their dream position. Additionally, readers will learn how to review and negotiate their associate agreements.
Associate dentist compensation calculators
As I wrote in my book “How to Land Your Dream Dental Associateship,” comparing dental associate offers isn’t as simple as looking at the base salary. Many associates focus solely on the percentage or daily rate while overlooking the significant value that benefits add to their total compensation.
This calculator will help you:
1: Assign monetary values to each benefit in your compensation package
2: Compare multiple offers on an equal playing field
3: Make informed decisions based on total compensation rather than just base salary
4: Identify which benefits matter most to your specific situation
About Dr. Schick
Dr. Schick understands that a strong dental career deserves both clinical excellence and financial independence. That’s why he’s committed to helping new dentists avoid common pitfalls and succeed faster.
Dr. Schick graduated from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine in 2021 and joined a private practice in Albuquerque, NM. After a few years he moved on to work as an associate at a corporate office in Tempe, Arizona called Wood Family Dentistry where he continues to develop the clinical skills of full mouth rehabilitations while also learning more about business management. Over the years, he has completed numerous continuing education courses and has received extensive training in the placement of dental implants, advanced surgical extractions, removable and fixed prosthodontics, and Invisalign.
His primary areas of interest in clinical dentistry are implant surgery and treating TMD with Botox. Outside clinical dentistry, Dr. Schick is passionate about personal finance and contract negotiation. You might find him reading a self-help book like “Rich Dad Poor Dad” or listening to a podcast from Dentist Advisors.
