I've been an endo associate with over 3 years now. 42% collections. I work 3/days a week and average about 8 completions a day. The pay is great but marketing is the biggest challenge. Some GPs are really fickle and don't have much loyalty to you and will easily start referring to other offices...

I have been trying to figure something out that I hope you guys have an answer to. The biggest issue is the interest in paying the student loans out as fast as possible. I am currently on the PAYE but am thinking of switching to the Save program because it says that if I just pay the minimum the...

Well here is my thought process. The way I am tackling the student loans is using the snowball method. These numbers are just examples to make the math easier. Student Loan 1 = $20,000 at 6% -> $100/month of interest Student Loan 2 = $30,000 at 6% -> $150/month Student Loan 3 = $40,000 at 6% ->...

From my understanding, the general number of endo programs that accept students still in dental school is lower every year. This could be for various reasons. They do get a lot of people apply from AEGD/GPR residencies so you have to realize that you are competing against those guys who has done...

I think you already know why.... ENDO

From what I heard, some 3rd year endo residents do moonlight. Most programs it's a don't ask don't tell kind of thing.

Good amount of programs accept it

i know for a fact that seattle area is oversaturated. Really hard to find a job in this area.

The reality of my situation is I am just trying to survive until I graduate from Endo in 2 years from now :(

Im a current LMC resident. Every LMC clinic is different and there really is no way to know which one is good and which on is bad so you have to actually talk to residents there and maybe even visit. For the most part, LMC AEGD programs are located in community health type clinics. Meaning that...

Just FYI NYU-LMC has officially opened their Endo programs back up. They have 2 locations. NY and Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico requires you to speak spanish. So if you know spanish you just increased your chances of getting into a program. So because its Lutheran you do get a stipend (which is...

It is still very hard to get into a program straight from dental school. Many directors I have spoken to prefer experience outside of dental school for varies reason. Very few programs still "take a chance" with someone right out of dental school but each year the number it seems is getting lower.

yeah, a whole lot of taxes which equates to nothing! Im at LMC which pays bi-weekly "$40,000 annual". In reality, you are getting paid $20/hr + tax. It really becomes more like $24,000 per year!

Yeah, UOP interviewed on thursday and gave offers the next day. LSU gave offers that very night after interviews (friday). As far as I know, LSU is also filled.
