Almost everything we do is a huge risk for repetitive stress injury! If you don't suffer from a sore neck and back yet, you probably will at some point in your career. In DHD episode Katrina Klein joins Alan to talk about tools we can get to improve our dental ergonomics! Katrina is a hygienist, "ergonomist," personal trainer and bodybuilder which makes her eminently qualified to help dental people with their ergonomic challenges! Some of the things we talked about: loupes and a headlamp saddle chairs two sided mirrors cordless instruments lightweight handpieces dental microscopes Some links from the show: ErgoFitLife.com ErgoFitLife Facebook page ErgoFitLife Facebook group You aren't born knowing how to run a business. And you probably didn't learn how in dental school, either. A great place to learn this stuff is the Dental Economics “Principles of Practice Management” conference! It’s a limited attendance meeting of like minded people that want to learn how to run their businesses better! You get no fluff. No “sign up for my course” kind of thing. Good information delivered in a more intimate meeting environment with lots of access to the speakers! The conference is in beautiful Norfolk, VA this July 18th-19th! Get more details and sign up at dentalhacks.com/ppm.
