Here are the 10 tips from AO:
1. Learning never stops; always stay a student and stay on top of thinking.
2. Dentistry humbles even the best, so be critical of your work but celebrate your successes.
3. Make treatment decisions based on WIDOM; “would I do it on me?”
4. Always “measure twice and cut once.”
5. Be a part of a team you trust.
6. Seek advice from a financial expert on loan repayments and future planning, as well as with investments.
7. Challenge yourself; “excellence is a process, not an event.”
8. Know your limitations and be forthright about your level of experience.
9. Being involved in your profession is the best continuing education you will have; be active in associations and use them to network and learn.
10. You are in control of your career; it’s up to you to make the most of it.
