Why it matters for dental
Orthodontic practice owners and office managers can now access a six-module leadership certificate that addresses team management and burnout—skills dental school curricula do not cover—after the AAO partnered with Simon Sinek.
Key points
- The American Association of Orthodontists partnered with Simon Sinek to launch the Simon Sinek–AAO Inspiring Leadership program, a six-module online certificate course.
- More than 600 orthodontists and over 80 office managers have completed the program since its October 2024 launch.
- The next cohort begins January 28, 2027.
- Modules pair Sinek’s leadership content with AAO-member orthodontist segments that translate concepts into orthodontic practice strategies.
