I truly enjoyed this preceptorship program in Dental Sleep Medicine and Craniofacial Pain. For me it was a crucial time to "unlearn" & "relearn." By shadowing, observing and following closely providers in this very specific field during their clinical session, I picked up tips, information to improve my treatment efficacy, and realized some of my mistakes I had that may impede my patients' progress. Thanks to Tufts Craniofacial Pain Center Team! It's a Life Long Learning Journey. Will be back again & again, each return is different level of understanding.
