If you need some powerfully uplifting energy and joyful grit in your life right now, this is for you. I sit down with Dr. Purnima Kumar in Vienna for this conversation. She is the head of department of Periodontics and Oral Medicine at the University of Michigan, School of Dentistry.
She has built a wonderfully successful and accomplished career in research and academics, whilst also finding time for countless philanthropic pursuits and tangible initiatives to lift other women in dentistry.
We cover her career experience through tertiary institutions, her passionate advocacy of the “He for She” movement, and countless insights and wisdoms hard-earned from a colourful career in dentistry.
This is one not to be missed!
