Financial Flossing: Guiding Dental Professionals to a Brighter Future with Ross Brannon  Episode 042: Winning the Student Debt Battle: Lessons from a Military Dentist  A 2020 graduate of Marquette University School of Dentistry, Patrick Campbell is currently a practicing dentist for the US Navy. Most recently, he has been on the “green-side” treating service members of the Marine Corps. Before dental school, he started to look at alternative career paths for his dental career (and of course ways to pay for school) which is when he found the Navy’s Health Professions Scholarship Program. After a long application process, he was commissioned as a Dental officer in the US Navy and attended Officer Development School in the summer of 2020. In his free time, he enjoys producing engaging, light-hearted, easily digestible dental content for “The Eval”- a bi-weekly newsletter.   Listen to this information-packed Financial Flossing episode, where Patrick breaks down the financial pros and cons of working as a military dentist.   Here is what to expect on this week’s show:
