    8a-4:30p that is a wonderful schedule! I can’t wait until I can be apart of dentistry, it has definitely been a journey but I’m patient. Thanks for making more dental videos after you graduated dental school! I use to watch your videos yearsss ago! I hope you continue to make more, they are very inspirational 😇

    Are you still working in a FQHC? Ive heard that at FQHC you don't do a lot if any crowns and are only doing extractions, fillings, dentures. If you aren't in the FQHC anymore. Did you have hard time adjusting?

    Wonderful video. I've been watching you since you started this channel and when you were in dental school. im so proud of you what a wonderful video.

    How does an FQHC Dentist’s income compare that of a private practice Associate’s salary?

    • @DentistAkosua
      @DentistAkosua  3 роки тому +1

      Great question! An FQHC dentist is usually receiving a salary while a private practice Associate is most likely being paid based on a base pay and production. I will make a video on this in the near future.

    • @Kencan254
      @Kencan254 3 роки тому

      @@DentistAkosua I can’t wait for the FQHC Vs Private practice associate comparison. In addition to remuneration model, other contents to cover in your forthcoming video include, average relative salaries, careers growth opportunities and most importantly hands on training. I am trying to assess if it’s necessary to attend a GPR/ARGD program after dental school. Lastly, can a Canadian citizen participate in the FQHC program and be eligible for the student loan subsidy program. I am attending a Canadian dental school and all my student lian’s are Canadian based.
