When I lost my late brother, Dr. Manu Dua, to Oral Cancer, I found myself navigating the challenging journey of grief while wearing multiple hats – a mom, daughter, wife, practice owner, sister, and dentist.
The path from diagnosis to treatment, surgeries, and moving forward was tough. In my pursuit of answers and resources, I felt compelled to create the Dua Good Job Symposium.
This symposium goes beyond clinical knowledge; it's a platform that addresses the emotional and human aspects of dealing with oral cancer.
As dental professionals, you'll gain insights on how to communicate effectively with patients, provide post-operative care, and manage the deeper emotional facets of cancer. It's a holistic approach to patient care that extends beyond technicalities, providing inspiration on how you can save lives. Join us to create a network and find a village of support – because empathy and understanding are crucial in healthcare.
