In this episode, Dr. Madison LeBlanc joins us to share her inspiring journey through dental school and her current experience as a third-year oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) resident at the University of Michigan. She opens up about what motivated her to pursue OMFS, how a gap year job in oral surgery shaped her path, and the misconceptions that often surround the specialty — including the idea that you need to be top of your class to succeed.

Dr. LeBlanc also discusses what daily life looks like as an OMFS resident, how mentorship and externships play a vital role in growth, and why self-acceptance and individuality are key to thriving in dental education. Whether you’re a pre-dental student exploring specialties or a dental student considering surgery, this episode offers valuable insight, motivation, and real talk from someone living it every day.

🎧 Tune in to learn:

• What it’s really like to be an OMFS resident

• How mentorship can shape your path in dentistry

• Why your unique journey matters — not just your grades
