The Dental Head Start Podcast #51 – Katelyn Murray – high performance OHT
Dental Head Start is all about trying to give you, the early career dentist or student a head start in your career.
What better way then to be in the thick of it well before you ever step into university.
Katelyn Murray had this head start and not at just any practice, but with Dr Lincoln Harris. I suspect she knew more about complex dentistry than any of her educators!
Katelyn went on to study Oral Health Therapy and returned to Harris Dental Boutique to continue her high level care, now in a new role.
In this episode we cover communication, the benefits of assisting first, what to say when they think you’re too young and of course the huge impact a competent OHT can have in your practice. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did.
