And then that’s okay. There are plenty of men out there who are totally fine with having really successful partners.”Dr. LeBlanc (~08:49): “This is a hill that I will die on: the schedule of my med school experience was a lot easier than the schedule of my dental school experience. They were much more focused on mental health; on a holistic, more altruistic experience.”Dr. LeBlanc (~58:12): “You are never going to feel ready… You kind of just start doing it. And then after a while, you’re like, ‘Wow, I just did that whole case pretty much by myself.’”Dr. LeBlanc (~26:00): “By being more visible and trying to be in a mentor position… I could have some small impact on that, because the amount of older women OMFS who are through and done is such a small number.”Questions:08:12 – “How would you compare the medical school experience to dental school?”13:49 – “How do you deal with hate comments on social media?
