Scheduling Coordinator

Complete training for the Scheduling Coordinator role in a dental office

Architect of Practice Production & Efficiency

The Scheduling Coordinator is not “just managing the calendar.”


They are
controlling the engine of the entire practice.

They decide how the doctor’s and hygienists’ time is used—and the simple truth is:

Your practice can only produce what is on the schedule.

A skilled Scheduling Coordinator builds a high-output, low-chaos schedule that keeps the chairs full, the days efficient, and cancellations under control. When this role is done well, production goes up, stress goes down, and the practice grows more predictably.

A great Scheduling Coordinator knows how to:

  • Design a schedule that protects high-value production time and maximizes opportunities for case presentation

  • Fill last-minute holes quickly—without destroying the rest of the day

  • Reactivate inactive patients and reduce patient attrition over time

  • Track, adjust, and refine scheduling strategies so performance keeps improving

This comprehensive 3.5-hour course walks through every major part of the position—from how to structure and manage the schedule for maximum efficiency, to how to run recall systems that keep hygiene full and patients returning.

You’ll also get downloadable policies, forms, and checklists to support daily execution, consistency, and performance.
