The Women in Dentistry Podcast and Collaborative was founded by Dr. MaryJane Hanlon in March of 2020 as a way to inspire and reassure the young women in dentistry – no matter what their contribution to the field is: office support, assistant, hygienist, dentist, lab tech, or sales – that their story matters.
The idea for the podcast was the result of an innocent conversation occurring between two first year female students that Dr. Hanlon became a part of. Concerned about their lack of confidence in their own ability, she looked for a podcast to help her dental students develop confidence by seeing women who had a similar lack in confidence eventually become successful in their career. Finding none, The Women in Dentistry was Born.
