Practice Management Insights from an Established Dentist and Young Graduate Dentist
I attended Drs. Bydalek lunch and learn on Friday, January 17th, which was hosted by Temple Alumni Affairs. Hearing the perspectives of both an experienced dentist and a recent graduate was incredibly insightful. It was fascinating to learn how certain aspects of dentistry have evolved over time while others have remained constant. Dr. Michael and Dr. Ryan offered valuable advice on what it takes to successfully run a practice, how to stay current with rapidly advancing dental technology, and what we should realistically expect after graduation. Dr. Ryan also shared practical tips on how to make the most of the next two years of dental school and how to begin preparing for life after D4. As a D2 student, this session helped bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world practice. Hearing about the professional transitions from both speakers was both helpful and informative.
