a leadership launch program

Empowering the Next Generation of Dental Leaders

Rise & Lead is designed to place students and new graduates in the driver’s seat of their careers — giving them the tools, exposure, and confidence to lead with purpose. 


Through education about market value, access to multiple vetted DSO partners, and guidance from experienced mentors, participants gain the clarity and courage to choose opportunities that truly align with their professional and personal goals.

Our success is measured not by placements made, but by careers thoughtfully launched.
