Ready, set, job hunt! Get the resources you need

As you round the corner on dental school, are you ready for the next step: finding that first job?

ADA Practice Transitions (ADAPT) helps D4s and other job-seekers find the perfect practice for their goals, whether it’s a first associateship or a path to ownership. And the entire process — from creating your profile and receiving handpicked matches to closing the deal — costs nothing for your first job after dental school.

ADAPT takes a different approach to matchmaking. Rather than being matched solely on location and skills, you create an online profile that helps you think through your preferences and priorities. We ask how appealing certain scenarios are and how you would approach various treatments. Research shows that the resulting matches are more successful, since they are rooted in complementary philosophies of care. That means you might find your “forever practice” right out of dental school. And if you’re interested in eventual ownership, we can help you find a practice where the owner is willing to mentor you throughout an extended sale timeline.

As part of our matching platform, you get access to resources tailored to every phase of the process, including worksheets and contract templates, plus an ADA advisor to help you evaluate your options.

Even if you’re a couple years from graduation, you can start preparing for your job hunt. Read on for some of our most popular resources on interviewing and joining a new practice. Then create your free ADAPT profile at ADAPracticeTransitions.com to get started.
