In this episode, Paul shares findings from his survey of associate dentists and discusses the key factors driving associates to leave their first positions, including aspirations for practice ownership, toxic workplace cultures, inadequate mentorship, and compensation concerns. Paul and Rob also examine practical strategies for improving associate retention through stronger communication, effective leadership, structured onboarding, clear systems and expectations, meaningful mentorship, and competitive compensation models.
