CDSPI will continue to provide insurance, investment and private wealth management advice and solutions to dental association members.
"We are thrilled to be teaming up with CDSPI to offer banking solutions to address the unique financial needs of dentists who are navigating complex business operations while providing an essential healthcare service," said Jason Charlebois, Senior Vice President, Small Business. "The Scotiabank Healthcare+ Dentist Banking Program is designed to help dentists and dental students at every career stage, alleviating financial stress during their education and in practice, allowing dentists to focus on providing quality care for their patients."
