Mentorship is a hot topic. Everyone wants a mentor to help them through the early stages of their career. But what about the first and perhaps most influential mentors – your university friends?
This is a discussion with some of the people who genuinely got me through dental school. Dr Andre Audet, Dr Katharine Dal Santo, Dr Brendan Scott and Dr Akshay Sidana came on the show to share their first few years after graduation and the tips and advice they feel will help you maximise your early career.
From dentistry in Canada to Burnout and work life balance – we cover a lot!
Enjoy, and feel free to reach out if you want to connect with Andre, Kat, Brendan or Akshay!
