The November Pride Institute seminar will cover important topics for all doctors approaching business transitions in their practice.

"I am very pleased to conduct the Pride Institute seminar in Tampa. This gives me an opportunity to provide exclusive exit strategy information to the many practicing doctors enjoying (or hoping to enjoy) the Florida lifestyle,” said Smith.

The Transition Strategies course material has been developed for all doctors no matter where they are in their career. Attendees will get answers to questions like: What do I need to know about selling my practice; What is the market value of my practice; What is the best practice option for me; Why do I need professional advice in addition to that of my lawyer and accountant; I’ve found someone I can work with—what next? From senior doctors looking towards retirement to doctors seeking their first practice opportunity, there is valuable material for all.

Prescott is Pride Institute’s resident tax specialist and a popular speaker to dental groups on succession planning, practice operations, personal planning and practice entry.
