In celebration of Women’s History Month, MLMIC’s Content Marketing Manager Tammie Smeltz sits down with endodontist Dr. Maria Maranga, a leader in dental medicine not only locally but also at the state and national levels.
During Part One of this podcast, Dr. Maranga and Tammie chat about her experience as a mentor to dental students and residents, both male and female. They discuss the increased number of female dentists in the workforce, the benefits of joining the ADA, NYSDA and your local dental society, as well as her leadership roles with the Suffolk County Dental Society and the New York State Dental Association.
During Part Two, Dr. Maranga and Tammie chat about “Scrubs and Stilettos,” an annual conference offered through the Suffolk County Dental Society. Dr. Maranga also provides advice for the next generation of female dentists and shares ways to cultivate work-life balance.
