The Big Apatite Dental Podcast

Health EN ↓ 6 episodes

Thank you for listening to our Podcast! Our Podcast aims to encourage sustainability, growth and legacy. How can we as clinicians grow sustainable legacies in health care? In an increasingly automated world Healthcare Industrialisation is heading towards a new phenomenon of health technofeudalism. We aim to challenge the narrative of healthcare automation and homogeneity and ensure that patient care is at the centre of everything that we do as clinicians. Join us on our journey as we explore the relevance of entrance criteria for dental schools, dental curricula and everything in between.
