What happens when you refuse to let your career stay in one lane?
In this episode of The Chief Psycho Podcast, I sit down with Michelle Strange, MSDH, RDH, a clinician, educator, entrepreneur, and practice owner whose 25-year career spans assisting, hygiene, graduate education, infection prevention, mobile care, teledentistry, public health advocacy, speaking, and ownership.
Michelle shares how she built a career rooted in curiosity, continuous learning, and strategic reinvention. We talk about infection control as leadership, expanding access through mobile and teledentistry, and what it means to move from clinician to owner without losing clinical integrity.
In this episode, we explore:
• Mobile and teledentistry as access and innovation tools
• Infection prevention as a leadership responsibility
• Clinical education and advocacy in modern dentistry
• Practice ownership and value-based care
• Designing a career that evolves with intention
This episode is for clinicians who want range, ownership, and a career that grows as they do.
