Last, but not least, I attended Dental Hygiene in a Changing World Workshop. The workshop focused on how to develop and capitalize on leadership skills in order to take advantage of new career opportunities. It was a great meeting, and I will be writing more about this in upcoming newsletters.
Thanks to all the contributors in this issue of RDH eVillage FOCUS. Enjoy!
