Interview starts around minute 14:40 JoAnn Gurenlian is an amazing human being and it was truly our pleasure to have her on. JoAnn has served the public and the profession in countless ways, we are all indebted to her for her service. In this episode, we talk about the true role of the dental hygienist - what it should be and what it can be. We talk about education and thinking big picture. She shares with us her passion for international collaboration. I think the best thing about this episode is that there is some pretty outside the box thinking - not controversial per se, just very different than the status quo!                         Some Points to ponder Critical thinking Real world Big vs little picture Oral hygiene instruction 4yr education Doctorate level education being the basic degree??
