Dr. Schick graduated from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine in 2021 and joined a private practice in Albuquerque, NM.
Dr. Schick started working at a Corporate dental office, Wood Family Dentistry, in Tempe, AZ, where he continues to hone his clinical skills by working with patients three and a half days a week.
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 are implant surgery and treating TMD with Botox. Dr. Schick recently joined Dental Care in Your Home, a Non-profit organization, as a certified Board Member.
The Educated Associate, LLC was founded by Dr. Schick in early 2023 after he noticed a void in the information available to young dentists regarding non-clinical issues. With two full years of experience encountering and overcoming the issues associate dentists face, Dr. Schick set out to fill the voids with his own real-life stories. He now composes blog posts featured in Dental Clinical Pearls and The Educated Associate Facebook business page, and has even written an eBook titled “The Dental Associate’s Roadmap to Career Success: How to Find and Land your Dream Associateship”, which is available for download on the website. In addition, Dr. Schick offers free 10-minute phone calls, Zoom chats, and direct messaging to assist those seeking specific guidance. So, be sure to spend some time on the website and take advantage of all the free resources The Educated Associate, LLC has to offer – As always, stay drilling my friends!
When Dr. Schick began his mission to help fellow dentists, he initially posted blog posts and photos of his dental work on his personal Facebook and Instagram. His following soon grew to several hundred, and Dr. Greg Charles, the manager of the Facebook group page “Dental Clinical Pearls,” asked him to post weekly on the page. Dr. Schick did so, and after three months one post was read, liked, and shared by over 30,000 dentists in the US. Realizing the potential of his work, Dr. Schick created this website, TheEducatedAssociate.com to store and categorize his information. Here, users can find multiple blog articles related to their needs, with more being uploaded and categorized in the coming weeks. Going forward, blog posts will be released first on the website and later on Facebook and Instagram. To get first access to this potentially life-changing information, all you need to do today is download a free article, complete the “Contact Me” form, and request to have future blogs sent directly to your email. As always, stay drilling, my friends!
Dr. Schick understands the hectic and time-constrained schedule of the modern dentist. To help these busy professionals, he created the podcast, A Day in the Life of an Associate Dentist. This podcast series will highlight a variety of different schedules and lifestyles for associate dentists. The goal is to provide valuable insights for new and experienced dentists alike.
Recording and editing are already underway and the podcasts are expected to be released in the Fall or early Winter. To get early access, use the “Podcast” tab to sign up. Until then, stay drilling my friends!
