Abstract
Associate dentists must carefully negotiate their contracts to secure favorable terms that impact their career trajectory and job satisfaction. Key areas for negotiation include compensation structure, comprehensive benefits, work schedule flexibility, professional development opportunities, and performance expectations. Understanding and negotiating these elements, along with seeking legal counsel for contract review, helps ensure a balanced agreement that protects the dentist's interests while establishing clear expectations for both parties.
