This week I wanted to go a little deeper by shedding some light on a hard aspect of being pre-dental or a dental student. Comparison is something everyone I speak with agrees is a large hurdle to deal with in undergrad classes with the DAT and with application season. Unfortunately, comparison struggles stick around in dental school and even when working as a dentist. This episode draws on my own experiences with anxiety related to starting dental school, struggles with the above topics & also brings in YOUR stories of times that our listeners have dealt with comparison. Of course, I also share your advice as well as my own about how to avoid and work through comparison at all stages. I hope you enjoy the episode!
