Transforming your relationship with dentistry with Dr. Peter Vanicek EP. 2
My apologies for the poor audio quality!
Today with my guest Dr. Peter Vanicek, we jump into topics that discuss stories of life-changing moments within a dental mission trip at any stage of your career as a dentist, whether it be a student or seasoned veteran.
Dr. Peter Vanicek is a volunteer dentist and trip leader in the Global Dental Relief Organization based in Colorado, USA. They run dental mission trips to countries like Nepal, Kenya and Guatemala, just to name a few. They have a primary focus on restorative care and open the applications to anyone outside of dentistry and of all age ranges.
This episode had me thinking about dental mission trips in a whole new way and I’m excited to share it with you. If you want a sneak peek, we are discussing:
- How dentistry is uniquely positioned to give you the opportunity to serve as a volunteer.
- The roles we can play in a trip and how we can prepare for it.
- Why a dental mission trip may not be for you, yet!
- What kind of transformation you will achieve just by serving in a volunteer group no matter what age group and stage of your career as a dentist you are in.
- What I heard: Curiosity give you the Courage which then led to Confidence as a Dentist, as a leader in your organization, and as a member of your family.
- Creative ways of getting your mission trip sponsored
- What GDR is doing for COVID concerns
