Every lecture. Every simulation. Every patient. For Maddie Kalenberg, that moment came during a complex patient case in clinic. It was the first time everything she'd learned came together, and she realized she was stepping into her future as a dentist. "That experience made me realize how much I have grown since starting dental school," says Kalenberg. "It gave me confidence in my ability to think critically through treatment options while also recognizing the importance of involving patients in the decision-making process." Her advice to the version of herself who was just starting dental school? Trust the process. 🦷💙 #Creighton #CreightonDentistry #FutureDentist #DentalSchool #DentalStudent
