Kinda Different: Innovation, Connection, and Making Dental Care More Human: Recent Episodes
DifferentKind
Kinda Different is a short podcast from the people at DifferentKind (differentkind.com). We chat with dental industry leaders, clinical providers, and patients to discuss innovation in dentistry, connect with our fascinating guests on a personal level, and explore how together we can make dental care more human.
🔎 In dentistry, it's easy to fall into the trap of a smaller field of vision being better. 5x loupes are better than 2x loupes, a microscope is better than loupes, etc. But a smaller field of vision makes it hard to see the whole picture, whether that's for an individual patient's health or for the profession in general. In this episode of Kinda Different, Matt chats with Dr. Katie Lee, who has many different roles: a clinical innovator, a technology advisor, an author, a speaker, a KOL, and the list goes on. Listen in to learn how her broad perspective helps her zoom out and see things others can't.You can get in touch with Katie here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katieleeddsWebsite: https://katieleedds.comLearn more about DifferentKind at: Website: https://www.differentkind.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/differentkindMusic from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/walz/name License code: LENLR5HNGH7JPSYX
