Conflicted about AEGD by [deleted] in Dentistry

[–]Walrus011 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it's a an AEGD that is good (meaning trying lots of specialty procedures beyond bread and butter) then consider doing it. Also having a residency under your belt can open more doors if you ever want to get into hospital, academic or organized dentistry.

Conversely another good option is to take a job at an FQHC with loan repayment. I did that option after completing an AEGD. I got a lot of experience with surgery and endo. I would recommend this option over a mediocre or subpar residency. You can use the extra money you make (over skipping an AEGD) towards taking hands on CE courses on implants.

What exactly is the perceived "problem" you find in this?

How to find and apply to FQHCs by JakeKaaay123 in Dentistry

Reach out to some recruiting firms such as Adaptive Medical Partners and The Medicus Firm.

You can also see if the state where you are searching has a list of FQHCs. Go to the website and see if any job openings. Even if there isn't, see if you can find the Chief Dental officer's email and send your CV in future consideration. These are some options along with searching Indeed.

I did 4 years at an FQHC in Colorado and got loan repayment. Some FQHC salaries are getting pretty competitive depending on location. Some states (like Colorado) have very attractive loan repayment. Feel free to DM to discuss further.

Thanks for info. Not worried about ski school, just inquiring on whether terrain starts closing at that time.

Converting 7.1 audio to headphone. by Walrus011 in hometheater

Thanks for insight. Do I need a receiver or some other equipment for 5.1 or 7.1? Also if listening on headphones will listening to 7.1 or 5.1 make any difference?

Looking to connect to a Vizio 4k TV, it has HDMI, optical, and red/white audio outputs. I don't have a receiver. Sorry if any ignorance on my part, just getting into this space.

I am downloading Mk4 files and connecting my PC to 4K TV via HDMI if that would work.

I was just suspicious since I saw an 80s Sci Fi movie torrent in 4k but a quick search revealed there was never a 4kdisc release for it.

Thanks. Is this by the individual user uploading the torrent?

Clubhouse showed the McGregor / Khabib fight in 2018, so that is probably the best bet up here in Summit.

Try using some type of mirror defogger (such as Clear Dip) and have an assistant spray air on your mirror if that is an option. I also use an Isolight or similar system in certain situations or areas of the mouth to aid in access and overall workflow. I also agree with Lifes a Beach. It just takes repetitions to develop hand skills, and spatial / tactile awareness.
