What is the Career Accelerator Program (CAP)? It's a practical business training program designed for new dentists. CAP training is a 4-month business-focused continuum led by subject matter experts that will provide early-career dentists with essential business knowledge to enhance and accelerate their career development and allow for more informed decision-making. CAP runs from March to June and beyond, with biannual follow-up get-togethers planned. The program offers a mix of business and social programs, both in-person (at the MDS headquarters, 2 Willow Street, Southborough, MA) and hybrid, to create a community of support for participants.  

The initiative was created in response to member feedback, emphasizing the importance of business proficiency. Reserve your spot now. Register today!

MDS Leadership Academy

The MDS Leadership Academy is a Massachusetts Dental Society (MDS) member-exclusive, five-session hybrid program designed to help dental professionals develop and sharpen their leadership skills and help advance their careers.

As professionals, we are all expected to be effective leaders, but where do we learn those skills? It was most likely not included in your dental school curriculum. Many dental professionals need to acquire those skills, but are often put in roles without a full leadership tool kit. The MDS recognizes this challenge and wants to help you succeed in your leadership position.
