One Last Sendoff | Dr. Rick Workman

It’s a bittersweet moment for us – this will be Impactful Wisdom’s final episode! We have enjoyed bringing you different topics to think about no matter where you are in your dental journey.  Throughout the podcast episodes, we have discussed a wide variety of topics including how to prepare for life after school, understanding contracts, the first 60 days as a clinician, diversity in dentistry, life after being chairside, and everything in between.  We had the pleasure of having Heartland Dental Founder, Dr. Rick Workman on the very first episode back in 2020 when we first premiered!  We are grateful for his leadership and have the pleasure of having him on once again for our final episode. Don’t worry, you’ll still be able to access all our archived episodes wherever you get your podcasts! Thank you for your support of Impactful Wisdom! --Ashley, Brian, & Cathy
