Re: CHARITABLE PRACTICE vs PRIVATE PRACTICE

[Anonymous]

a practical alternative is to provide both services through one workplace (your clinic) .,,. this is something which i am sure many practitioners practice .,., you measure the paying capacity of the patient coming to you and analyse the need for treatment ,. , many a times there are cases who definitely require dental intervention but it is beyond their paying capacity to afford the same. ,., treat such patients just like your regular one’s and charge as minimal as possible (or dont charge at all) based on your capacity ., ,. i guess 1 free RCT atleast every 10 RCTs is very much affordable for most established practitioners ., .,

the other alternative is devoting certain hours on daily/weekly basis to trust clinics and serving the society for free. ,. , this sounds easy but as your practice grows it becomes difficult to juggle bet ween the 2 and your family commitments. ,,.

i feel the first option is a better alternative ., ..

any more suggestions anyone ? ? ?? even i would like to know of other alternatives to serve the society without hampering my practice much ., .,
