I’ve been thinking about how crucial ongoing education is for us as dental hygienists. Just recently, I completed an advanced course on periodontal therapy techniques, and it opened my eyes to new strategies that can really make a difference for our patients. Has anyone else taken a course this year that they found particularly valuable? I’d love to hear your experiences.
I totally get that! It’s like going to the dentist to learn how to be a better dentist — sometimes you just find gems you weren’t expecting… I recently took a course on pediatric techniques that was surprisingly eye-opening.
I recently took a course on infection control that was surprisingly eye-opening. It really emphasized the importance of proper protocols and how small changes can help reduce risks for both us and our patients. Have you thought about specific areas where you’d like to improve next?
I remember when I applied for a unique lead role, I didn’t realize how much prep was needed for interviews — kind of like forgetting to brush after a big meal! Make sure to highlight your leadership experiences; they really stand out in this competitive market.
