GPR vs A Family Owned Practice

[Ziggy606]

Hi eveyone!

Just looking for a bit of advice. I'm a D3 and I had originally intended on coming straight out of school and joining a practice owned by my parent. But after going to school and being in the clinic I am starting to wonder if I am going to feel confident enough in my skills to just jump right in. I'm not looking specialize just a FYI. Does anyone have an experience with a GPR and working at a practice at the same time? Any other advice?? Thanks

You can be successful either way, but I am a huge advocate of GPR’s/AEGD’s. You’ll get your hands on a lot of cases that will make your transition to PP a lot more comfortable. Doesn’t matter what school you go to, there are going to be things you are uncomfortable with.

This is kind of a random question, but do you think that even a guy ranked at the bottom of his class could get into a GPR (a GPR, not necessarily a good GPR). Cause if the guy sucks, he probably could benefit from a gpr lol.

of course, there are more residency spots than there are applicants to GPRs iirc

A parent that owns an office. This is a no brainer. Go straight into private practice under the guidance of a parent.

Go straight to private practice and collect your mulah! You can always learn whatever else that interests you later.
