Personally I love my job and think it's a great fit for someone coming straight out of dental school with no GPR/AEGD experience. It's given me time to focus on what I have a good foundation in already and build on it. I work with some dentists who have been practicing for 20+ years and it's cush in terms of dentistry but medicaid population is always challenging due to barriers to care. Personally don't think I could stay here for more than 3 years due to lack of professional growth but I never bring work home and I'm not stressed at all. DM me if you have any questions.
