She then spent a year working as a general dentist at Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Centre, where she completed a one-year Dental Internship program in 1993. During her internship year, she furthered her training in the treatment of a more medically challenged patient population, including oncologic and special needs adult patients. It was during this time that she worked closely alongside the surgeons and surgical residents involved in the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery residency training program; following her internship year, she entered a four-year residency program herself.
