Jaz's Introduction: Hello, Protruserati. I am Jaz Gulati and welcome to this interference cast all about the differences between UK and US dentistry. It's quite a light hearted interference cast view today with someone very special. Her name is Dr. Bette Robin, and she's the host of Dentistry Rising podcast. And it's from podcasting. And her being a dentist actually doesn't practice dentistry anymore, which is actually interesting. So we'll discuss that in a moment. But her also being a podcaster in the dental niche, we sort of connected on this software podcasting platform. We joined this weekly mastermind all about communities and online courses. And we're both part of that. And what are the odds that two dentists, who podcast who re also interested in running successful online courses were eeting together. So that's what he story of how I got to meet Dr. Bette Robin. And then I got o listen to her podcast and t's really great. I really like er voice actually. So we had a ery light hearted discussion bout the differences, the ultural differences in USA ersus UK as a dentist, what are he earnings like? What are the iggest barriers like? One hocking thing for me was the evel of debt that US graduates an land themselves in. But also he understandably was quite hocked to learn about how the ational Health System works ere in the UK. So it makes a ery interesting sort of fly on he wall sort of listening istenership you guys, let's oll to the main interview, and I'd catch you in the outro. Main Interview: [Bette]Well, I'm here on the Dentistry Rising Podcast today with Jaz Gulati, who's a dentist in England. And Jaz and I met on an online study club on how to do online classes. And I was just absolutely thrilled that in the small little study group that another dentist joined. So what part of England are you from Jaz? [Jaz]Hey, Bette, thanks so much for being on. I'm enjoying doing this sort of joint thing with you. And like you said, you mentioned, what are the odds of two dentists in this very small, little micro niche, finding each other. So that's been fun in the last, I guess, three or four months connecting with you on that I'm based in London and Reading. So it's a place called Reading, but I guess most of your listeners will obviously know, London in England. And that's where I practice as an associate. I also have my own podcast, the Protrusive Dental Podcast, obviously this is going on both of our podcasts.
