Lunch and Learn with Dr. Justin Kiggins
During this session with Dr. Kiggins in Timmons hall during lunch, I gained valuable insights into transitioning from dental school to professional practice. He talked about the importance of paying off student loans as soon as possible, maintaining a patient-first approach, and not appearing solely motivated by money. Additionally, the Dr. Kiggins emphasized the critical role of continuing education in staying updated with industry advancements and improving patient care. This lecture relates to my career goals as it provided practical advice for starting my dental career and managing financial responsibilities. Understanding how to approach patient care with empathy aligns with the ethical principles. The emphasis on continuing education resonates with my commitment to lifelong learning and professional growth in the dental field.
