And these days are good. Good smooth days, good surgery, good patients, good team. Those are good days... So much better than the other job."

So we're getting there." (On the value of pursuing OMFS despite the long road)"Efficient and effective studying: Effective studying is obviously getting better grades... but efficient studying, which you need to do in dental school, is studying less for individual exams yet maintaining those high scores. Efficiency is going to be your primary focus early in D1 year." (Practical advice for D1 students aiming for OMFS)"If Oral Surgery and Perio worked more together, I think it would be really good for the future of dentistry. I think it would explode in collaboration and new surgical procedures." (Vision for interdisciplinary growth in the field)"Try and get some shadowing experience so you could observe like exactly what they do on a day-to-day basis. You don't wanna go into something and not know what you're going for."

What should I do?"(17:26) "Wait-listed to dental school.
