*PODCAST EXCLUSIVE* - 8.3.26A response to the YouTube comment: “Can you make a video going over the toxicity of your residency? And how to avoid that when you’re in one?”And for how to avoid that- when you become the upper level, senior resident, and chief resident- remember how it felt to be treated that way as a lower level junior resident, and be sure to embody and be the change to treat others differently. Remember that. You can be the change you want to see.

This is our DOS DIENTES project: capturing the moment of a hard-working day, while we're in it, after all the years of education and training, having found/created a really unique & exciting way of working in our profession. "If it doesn't exist, you have to build it" and I bet we all find ourselves stuck sometimes in a job we wish we could break out from... Alexia and I were terminated, on the same day, from our last job - and this project embodies our "break out." We teamed up and became DOS DIENTES ("two teeth" in Spanish) and began our 1-day-per-week job doing Oral Surgery at our friend's dental practices 2-3 hours away in Westchester, NY. On our drive home, between 6-8pm on Thursdays, we sign onto TikTok LIVE and chat with whoever wants to join us on this journey, and give you a shoutout for it.
