The Dental Student Podcast

If your profession is within the field of dentistry, this is an episode you want to tune in for! The boys bring on Dr. Cook to breakdown how COVID-19 will affect the future practice of dentistry. Dr. Cook draws parallels from his experience during the HIV-scare in the 1980s. He also paints the picture for the audience of what the new PPE guidelines look like in order to protect both the patients and ourselves! We also discuss what dental school may look like in the future, both didactically and clinically. If you are a pre-dent, we give advice about decisions like pursuing a community college or a 4-year undergraduate program, applying to dental school now or taking a gap year, and will dental school tuition go up or down in the future?

What's up everybody! On this special episode of DSP, the boys have the opportunity to pick the brain of Dr. Brandon Meckelberg - a recently graduated general dentist who's a multi-practice owner within Aspen Dental. In this conversation, we explore the past, present, and future of corporate dentistry, talk about career options for dental students on the cusp of graduation, and cover any and all questions you know you have about DSOs from an Aspen dentist himself! No BS just an unfiltered take on what's entailed when working for and with a Dental Support Organization such as Aspen Dental.
