"Ask Me Anything"
On Thursday, September 14th, the Council on Early Career Dentists held an "Ask Me Anything" reception at Leighton's Pub for D3 and D4 UNMC students. Drs. Anna Schoettger, Carly Aitken, Corinne Van Osdel and Jennifer Marshall comprised a panel of early career dentists and opened the floor for questions regarding all things dentisty. Seventeen students asked a wide array of questions such as how do you find a mentor, what do you wish you had done during dental school, how did you prepare yourself to enter into negotiations for your first job. Great questions, great answers. In the end, the importance of organized dentisty came through in all of the responses. The event was sponsored by a grant submitted by the NDA to the ADA.
