The Basics of Aviation and the Parallels to Oral Surgery (with Dr. Bill Runyon)
Manage episode 463363271 series 2803603
Today’s episode is a slight departure from our usual undertaking as we focus more on the wonder of flight than dentistry. But of course, there’s always a link to oral and maxillofacial surgery as we discover how the basics of aviation parallel the work of oral surgeons. We're joined by Dr. Bill Runyon, Jr., DDS, cofounder of Allied OMS and partner at Fort Worth Oral Surgery. Dr. Bill begins by detailing his journey to becoming a pilot before explaining exactly what it takes to become certified. We learn about the pros and cons of private travel versus public transit, how instrument flying paints a good comparison between piloting and oral surgery, other ways in which aviation parallels dentistry, and what you can expect to pay when buying an aircraft in today’s economy. We end with Dr. Bill’s helpful advice for first-time pilots and new OMS graduates and discover how time in the military can improve your private dentistry practice. Tune in for all this and more!
