Welcome back to StortiDental! In this episode, we’re diving deeper into the heated debate of Med School vs. Dental School / medicine versus dentistry. Joined again by Jeremie, who partially completed an M.D. and is currently a DDS candidate with a PhD and MBA, we unpack the differences in training, lifestyle, and career paths between these two healthcare fields. From the rigors of medical school to the hands-on demands of dental school, we explore what it means to choose a career in healthcare, the importance of collaboration, and why both professions are vital to the ecosystem of patient care. Whether you’re a pre-med, pre-dent, or just curious about the world of healthcare, this episode is packed with insights, humor, and a few friendly jabs. Plus, we give a shoutout to all the other healthcare heroes out there—nurses, PTs, vets, and more. Tune in for a lively discussion that might just help you find your niche in the world of healthcare! 🦷⚕️
