DEOs and AI with Ken Kaufman
In this episode, we delve into the exciting world of dentistry, focusing on Dental Organizations. We also explore the potential implications of AI advancements on employment opportunities within the dental industry.
Ken, currently the CFO at Nuvia Dental Implant Centers, brings a wealth of experience to the table. Previously serving as the CFO of Community Dental, he has a proven track record in financial management. Holding an MBA in finance and entrepreneurship, Ken has also authored the book "DEO's Financial Secrets To Grow Dental Organizations". This insightful book provides valuable advice for solo practitioners, expanding practices, and formal DSOs.
Ken recognizes that despite their intellectual prowess in dentistry, dentists may not have had the opportunity to cultivate comprehensive business skills. He passionately endeavors to bridge this gap and empower them with the knowledge and expertise they need to excel in all facets of their profession.
In our conversation, Ken contemplates the potential disruptive impact of AI on the dental industry. While acknowledging the possibility of job loss for knowledge workers, he also expresses optimism about its potential to revolutionize patient care, making it less invasive and faster. He believes that the integration of AI can enhance consistency in the field, instilling greater confidence in patients.
