My personal development plan outlines my long term and short term goals to improve as a healthcare provider. Short-term, I plan to start my work in the traditional private practice setting, gaining more experience in different types of practices. I foresee more challenges at this time, but I hope to build a stable client pool in the next couple years. On a long term scale, I plan to move on to public health practice. In my studies, we were fortunate to experience a fluoride varnish rotation where the practitioner gives oral hygiene instruction to moms of young children (who are in low-income families) and provides fluoride varnish. This experience was the first time in my life I took a liking to working with children, as I had never enjoyed pediatrics in the past. Thus, I hope to find a position that align with my interests in pediatric dental hygiene in the future.
