12: Ala'a talks New RDH Life, Overcoming Self Doubts, and Getting Hands-On Before Dental Hygiene School

This episode of the Dental Hygiene Basics Podcast features Ala'a, a new dental hygiene graduate. Ala'a talks about switching from a career in special education to dental assisting, and then COVID gave her a push to apply to dental hygiene school. She talks about how she had to overcome self-doubts when applying, but that she found herself more prepared when she arrived on campus because of her dental assisting background. Ala's story will be really helpful for someone who attended college in the past, but their prerequisites are not up to date. She discussed how Concorde Career College in San Antonio was a good choice for her because it allowed her to retake her prereqs and her dental hygiene degree in only 17 months.
