Residency education and speaking
Guiding GPR residents through real-world transition strategy
Dr. Njo regularly brings practical ownership and transition insight into academic and residency settings. In this General Practice Residency (GPR) presentation, residents held copies of Dental Practice Transitions Handbook while discussing career pathways, partnership structures, and long-term practice planning.
That bridge between education and execution is central to his impact. Dr. Njo helps early-career dentists understand how leadership, valuation, operations, and exit planning shape the future of a practice long before a transition is on the calendar.
