>> The program that I did was, I actually went right out of high school
and I did a 2 year program at the University of Pittsburg.
And they provided a program that was 2 years, year around.
So, you basically jump right in to the dentistry and you're
in clinic, you know, your first semester.
They require, you know, it's a tough program, it's not easy, but it's nice to be done
and be able to work, you know, at a fairly young age at that point.
And then I went back and got my bachelors, so that there are, you know, careers that can stem
from this, teaching and dental sales, so I thought that having a bachelors would be,
you know, good for me for the future if I wanted to do something different.
You know, it requires me to be aware of, you know, how to keep my room clean and keep,
you know, prevent disease and the spread of germs in general.
So, I mean, I do have to, you know, maintain continuing education courses.
And, you know, behind the scenes I think that, you know, it just is cleaning up after myself
and getting ready for the next patient.
