Why should I practice in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania allows for appropriate delegation of certain dental
procedures to maximize office efficiency and to maximize the utilization
of staff resources that other states don't allow (in New Jersey
orthodontists, for example, are much more restricted in what they can
have assistants can do in rendering patient care). In
addition, Pennsylvania
allows for expanded function dental assistants while many states do
not.
Kevin Klatte, DMD
Dr. Klatte is a 1997 graduate of the
University of Pennsylvania. He is an endodontist and practices with
a group of dentists at Associated Orthodontics in Philadelphia. You can
contact Dr. Klatte if
you’d like to inquire with him further.
Where you should practice depends on many things. If you like
city life, you would not want to practice in a small rural town, miles
from nowhere. Conversely, if you like small town life, you would
not want to practice in "Big City, USA." When deciding where to
practice, you must also consider how closely you want to live to any
family you or your significant other might be blessed or cursed to have
in your lives. Finally, you will have to practice in a state that
accepts the board that you have passed.
If you pass the NERB, Pennsylvania fits the bill. Pennsylvania is
diverse enough with both large and small towns. Regardless of your
lifestyle, you should be able to find a niche that fits your needs.
One last reason to practice in Pennsylvania is that the state does not
give much financial support to its dental schools. I know
that sounds like a negative, but it is actually good for new
dentists. Our dental schools are graduating far more out-of-state
residents than in-state residents. Therefore, many
Pennsylvania-educated, non-resident dentists are leaving the state
to go back to their home states to practice. This will, in my
opinion, result in a deficit of Pennsylvania dentists in 3-5
years. Where better to practice than a state that may have a high
patient to dentist ratio in the near future?
Tad Glossner, DDS
Dr. Glossner is a 1997 graduate of
West Virginia University and received his AEGD from West Virginia
University in 1998. He is a general dentist within a group practice
in Camp Hill. You can contact Dr. Glossner if you wish to inquire
with him further.
There are lots of opportunities in Pennsylvania, especially
in the mid-state region. Many people are looking for associates to
work within their practices or buy into their
practices. Plus we have a little of the city life and a little of
the country life in Pennsylvania...the best of both worlds.
Jennifer Davis, DMD
Dr. Davis is a 2002 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania.
She practices in a partnership in Cleona as a general dentist. You
can contact Dr.
Davis if you wish to inquire with her further.
