Synergy for Organizations

How we serve dental organizations:

Synergy, Education & Analytics exists to fill the gaps that Academic Dental Centers struggle with. We provide assistance with Accreditation, Faculty Development, Onboarding new clinical faculty, Onboarding new teaching faculty, Onboarding new part-time adjunct faculty, Orienting new International students and more!

Accreditation Preparation & External Review
1. We support dental schools and clinical units in achieving and maintaining excellence through comprehensive accreditation preparation and external review. Our team, along with expert consultants, can provide mock Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) site visits, and targeted onsite training for your faculty, students, and leadership to ensure confidence and readiness for the real CODA site visit.

2. We provide editing services and detailed self-study review to ensure clarity and coherence.

3. We also conduct independent external review of departments, clinics, and programs—delivering objective insights and actionable recommendations to strengthen performance, structure, and outcomes.

Operational Performance & Practice Optimization
1. We partner with dental organizations to improve efficiency, access, resource utilization and overall performance across clinical operations. Our work includes evaluation of patient flow, scheduling systems, capacity utilization, provider productivity, and staffing models. We have extensive experience in improving patient experience, throughput, chair utilization, and even reducing no shows. Our expertise in Dental Clinical Operations has been recognized by several peer-reviewed journals who have published our outcomes.

2. Beyond identifying inefficiencies, we focus on optimizing resource utilization, increasing throughput, and benchmarking performance against comparable organizations.

Faculty & Workforce Development
1. We support the development of high-performing teams through targeted faculty development. Our work also includes advising on recruitment strategies in competitive markets and designing clear pathways for career progression.

2. We train your dentists and hygienists who are transitioning into didactic teaching and clinical teaching roles. Despite extensive clinical experience, it can be challenging for private practice and community health center dentists/hygienists to teach dentistry. We have expertise in preparing those clinicians to be effective teachers and to understand how different it is to work in an academic institution.

Data, Analytics & Decision Support
1. We help organizations move from data collection to data-driven decision-making. Our services include developing meaningful KPIs across clinical, operational, and educational domains, as well as building dashboards that provide real-time visibility for leadership.

2. We also identify gaps in data infrastructure to ensure organizations are equipped to make informed, forward-looking decisions.

Ongoing Advisory & Implementation Support
1. We do not stop at recommendations. We can provide ongoing advisory support to help organizations implement, refine, and sustain improvements over time.

2. This longitudinal partnership model ensures that changes are embedded, progress is maintained, and leadership teams are supported as new challenges emerge.
