I interviewed a lady, Stacey Mills, in the dental field specifically pediatrics.
- Why did you choose to pursue a career in the health field? I chose to go into the pediatric dental field in order to help impact children’s oral health from a young age. In doing so I have been able to help in providing preventative care and establishing positive dental habits. I have also been given the opportunity to educate parents on proper hygiene practices and food choices.
- What have you taken from the impact you have made on patients? The impact that I have experienced over the last 17 years has given me a sense of deep reward through the ability to positively influence children’s oral health. Personally, I have cherished the strong relationships with families which has led to a more fulfilling and positive work experience.
- What advice would you give to someone looking to pursue a career in a health profession? Anyone that is considering a health profession as a career should learn to be patient, compassionate, and always show grace. You will want your patient to see your composure as calm and confident. In doing so it will ease the patient’s mind while they are receiving care.
